ALTAR TEAM

These services are guided altar calls from start to finish, and the altar team is the key to breakthrough.

  • The revival is not structured like a traditional church service. There’s no waiting for a "big pulpit moment" at the end.
     
  • From the opening welcome, there’s an invitation to be baptized, receive the Spirit, or be healed.
     
  • This is a three-night altar call where the focus is transformation, not tradition.
     
  • The whole church is activated, talking to guests, praying for miracles, and offering next steps like baptism and Spirit infilling.


People will come ready—altar workers should be ready too.

  • As soon as the welcome ends, altar workers should begin ministering. No waiting.
     
  • Be proactive: talk to guests, ask questions like “Is there any way we can get you baptized tonight?”
     
  • Miracles, baptisms, and Spirit infilling can—and often do—happen before the first song or the message even begins.
     
  • Empower your team to walk the tent, pray with people during worship, and be bold.


Pray people through by focusing on three essentials: Repentance, Worship, and Faith.

  >> Repentance

  • Doesn’t need to be long or perfect—just sincere.
     
  • Sometimes it's collective; if so, no need to individually revisit it.
     
  • If someone is crying and clearly moved, it’s often implied.
     

  >> Worship

  • They must begin to worship verbally to receive the Spirit.
     
  • Encourage them with short prompts like:
    “Lift your hands,” “Say ‘Jesus I love you,’” “Say ‘Hallelujah,’” etc.
     
  • Guide them gently but clearly.
     

  >> Faith

  • Faith must rise. Statements like “I believe God can fill you tonight” help build their faith.
     
  • Let them hear your faith and surround them with others who believe.
     
  • Statements like: “When I put my hand on your head, it’s because I believe you’re ready.” This builds expectation.
     


Stay in tune with the Spirit and be flexible with the moment.

  • Don’t wait for a traditional “altar call”—be engaged from the first note to the last amen.
     
  • If someone is about to be baptized or receive the Spirit during the sermon, go ahead. Breakthrough trumps schedule.
     
  • If needed, guide people back through repentance, worship, or faith—these are not “one and done” moments.
     
  • Use the Acts 19 model with Christians from other denominations:
     
    • Don’t argue or debate.
       
    • Respect their journey and offer the next step: baptism in Jesus’ name or receiving the Spirit.
       

💡 Always approach with humility: “I’m not better than you, just further along in the journey. Let's see you take the next step with God!”
 

  • Never belittle someone’s past experience—celebrate it and offer more.

 

  • You don’t need permission. If someone’s ready, move.
     
  • Don’t fear interrupting a message—we’re on the same team.
  • This is your moment. Don’t wait—just work.
