How to Have a Crusade
STEP ONE: If you or your church group(s) would like
to have a GO TELL Crusade with Rick Gage come to your area, can you answer these
questions with a yes?
-
Have you been praying for evangelism in your community?
-
Is some form of evangelism/outreach already taking place
in your community?
-
Is there an existing pastor/prayer meeting or ministerial
association in your community?
-
Is there a willingness or desire among the various denominations
to work together to evangelize your area?
-
Is there a facility in the area that would accommodate
several thousand people?
-
If you can answer yes to all or most of these questions,
present this opportunity to your pastor and ask him to pray about pursuing the
next STEP himself.
STEP TWO: If you are a pastor or community leader:
- Begin praying for the possibility of a GO TELL Crusade
in your area.
- Begin contacting other churches from various denominations
in your area to explore their interest in having a GO TELL Crusade.
- If there currently isn’t a regular meeting of church
pastors and leaders of various denominations in your area, use this as an opportunity
to gather them in a united effort to win the lost for Christ through a GO TELL
Crusade.
- Consider initiating prayer with other pastors and lay
leaders specifically for a large evangelistic Crusade.
- Please accomplish the above requirements before proceeding
to the next STEP.
STEP THREE: What a GO TELL Crusade representative will need to know
from you and your group:
 Are the larger churches in town interested in an area-wide
Crusade effort?- Would the pastors be willing to write a letter explaining
why a GO TELL Crusade should be held in their community, and invite other pastors
and lay leaders to attend a Check Out Meeting?
- Is there a core group of pastors/lay leaders from at least
10 different churches willing to shoulder the oversight and responsibility of
holding an area-wide Crusade effort?
- Is this request to bring a GO TELL Crusade with Rick Gage
coming from a cross-denominational group that is united in its desire to reach
the lost in your community for Christ?
- Are there Christian businessmen and community leaders
who would be willing to commit to assisting in the financial support of a Crusade?
- What is the population base within a thirty-mile radius?
- Would the school system support the “On Track” Assembly Program being presented in the middle and high schools?
- How many middle and high schools are within the same thirty-mile
radius? What is the student population of those schools?
STEP FOUR: If you can say yes to most of the above questions, and have
the necessary support, we invite you to request more information from the “Contact Us” page.
A typical community may take eight to ten months to
successfully prepare for a GO TELL Crusade.
