Event Hosting Inquiry for Church and City Transformation

Above  Pic: Salvation appeal at gospel crusade, Kenya Aug 2024. 

We often get asked to come to a pastors church, event or country because they see the work that we are doing. That is nice, but they usually lack details (often they lack real intent too)  so we are setting out a few things that will help you to make a clear and God inspired expression of interest in Beautiful Feet Task Force ministry. (BFTF)

We hope this message finds you well. We are thankful for the many who have expressed interest in having a BFTF team in their church, denomination or city over recent times. 

We are seeking expressions of interest from Christian leaders who may be willing and able to host Howard Sands and or a BFTF team for one or more of the following significant events in your city or region:

• City-Wide Leaders Unity Conference. An event designed for a minimum of 200 leaders focused on fostering unity and equipping leaders to work together for greater Kingdom Impact.  
• City-Wide Leaders Training Seminar:, with essential knowledge and skills for ministry leadership and community impact.
• Combined Churches City-Wide Outdoor Mass Crusade for Salvation and Healing:            A large-scale outreach with a minimum attendance of 2,000 people, aimed at bringing together churches across your city for a powerful time of salvation, healing, and transformation leading to growth.

To ensure the effectiveness and impact of these initiatives, please note the minimum attendance requirements: at least 200 leaders for the conference or seminar, and at least 2,000 attendees for the outdoor mass crusade. Any amount above that is OK, We just need to meet these minimums for efficiency reasons. 

We kindly invite you to consider which of these events your city or church network would be interested in hosting, and to indicate your preference by private mail after checking the details of this blog 
https://beautifulfeettaskforce.blogspot.com/2021/10/how-to-request-visiting-speaker-to.html

The Practical Steps to Prepare for your Big Event, Outreach or Seminar.

Soulwinning and discipleship is our passion.

 After 40 years of conducting large and small crusades, conferences and seminars across many developing nations we decided to make the collective wisdom of many leaders available to all to help overcome problems associated with 

• Organising, 
• Gaining Participation, 
• Physical locations, stages, sound, light etc
• Advertising
• Financing
• Prayer support
• Follow Up, Establishing people into existing or planting new churches. 

Experience has shown us that if we do not prepare properly we will lose much fruit.  Either our efforts do not reach the heights we wanted or the results are not what we hoped for or the ongoing outcomes a year or so afterwards do not reflect the goals we set. 

We used this little alliteration for many years in leadership seminars. 

Proper Prior Planning Prevents Pitiful Poor Performance. 

We have distilled the wisdom of many leaders into a manual that you can use to prepare well for any large scale event, whether it is an outreach crusade, a denominational or multidenominational conference, a training seminar or your own church conference etc. 

This wisdom is now available in a hard copy book that you can use a basis for your planning year after year to gain maximum benefits from your event. 

If you follow it carefully and completely you will see amazing results that others will wish they could get, but don't. 

The secret is prayer, not just prayer though, because we know you pray, but integrated prayer through structured approaches to every aspect of planning and preparation. 

If you use this philosophy in all your planning you will not go far wrong. 

Begin with the end in mind.

What do you want to achieve? if that is not clear to you before you start how will you assess whether it was successful or not.  You will have an event with lots of excitement, singing and dancing and preaching but will anything be changed one year on?

Ask your self the tough questions, ask yourself about your last event, What did we set out to achieve? was that measurable? did we measure it? did we achieve our objectives? What could we do better?

This manual will walk you through every aspect of planning, from deciding that leadership committee to choosing the various departments and the leaders for those departments, their character and abilities to the weekly measurement of progress on all major points. 

Order now in order to plan your next event.  

Why you need this instruction and procedure manual.

Because you want your event, (crusade, seminar, performance, music event, conference) to be the best it can be, to get the most out of the available money to run it, even how to get the funds to run it, how to make sure all the practical stuff is thought through carefully in advance so that the maximum possible fruitfulness can be gathered from your efforts for Kingdom building.

Howard Sands has 40 years experience in speaking at, planning or running large scale Christian events in evangelism and leadership training, now is your time to hack that wisdom and knowledge and get a leg up on your event planning with this procedure manual suitable for any application or country.

Following on from the powerful encounters of the first two Where to Now? programs in July and August 2020 and the ongoing and ever changing saga of the current health crisis, economic impacts and movement restrictions around the world, it is important we continue to explore what leading apostolic voices around the world have to say about what God is saying to His church. 

Where to Now? 3 takes us to new voices from many nations in short interviews as a part of the ongoing Combined Churches Victory meetings that BFTF has hosted for over 10 years. 

A live online zoom call Friday 4 Sep. 7.30pm Sydney, Australia time.

He was music director for Reinhard Bonnke’s Christ for All Nations evangelistic crusades and was music director and producer for Jesus Alive Ministries International’s television productions and regular crusades on the African continent for 12 years. 

Trevor has released 12 solo albums and collaborated with a number of other christian artists.

Trevor has recorded many churches live over the past 35 years, including the Rhema Bible Church in Johannesburg – the Praise Africa projects having been his brainchild as a worship facilitator there.
