punctuation - Use of dash or comma in bulleted list?

I have been charged with taking over a monthly prayer letter which had been managed by several different staff members. Each had a different way of handling a bulleted list. One used a dash while the other used a comma. One used a period at the end of each statement while the other omitted punctuation. I appreciate feedback as to the proper format for separating the students' names from the prayer requests as illustrated below (comma or dash?) and also if punctuation (periods in this case) are correctly omitted from each request.



Students:




• Iris - asking for prayer for her older sister to make right choices in life



• Velzi - that her family remains united



• Isabel - for healing for her mom who is not feeling well lately



• Jenny - for her family



• Zoila - for her as she gets ready for the new school year
