How Do You Start?

Staffing Your Prayer Tent
Two to three people max manning the tents- what we have found is people shy away if there are too many people in the tent.
One prayer volunteer interacts with the person stopping by. The other volunteer stands back and prays quietly for them and is ready to pray for another person stopping for prayer.
Keep track of those prayed for by logging it down. Name and what the prayer request was. If they want to give you their number, log it also.
Recommend 2-hour shifts per volunteer if possible.
Recommend having a male and female at the tent if possible ( it’s all based off of who is available).
Evangelism
We have found that about 40% to 50% of those stopping by are not believers. Pray for them first, then go to the next point.
The door is wide open to tell them about Jesus. Be ready to give them scripture and the salvation message. Simply tell them what Jesus has done for you and ask them if they want to accept Christ in their life.
God will give you the words to say!
