I am curious as to what your experience is with tent revivals. Seems like a thing of the past. I guess if you are in a rural area that is still something that draws people?

Even when they were popular the few I checked out in the 1970's seemed to be visited mostly by local folks who would not lock into a church home so visited every tent meeting that came through town.

I am not trying to be a Debbie Downer here but just a bit surprised to see folks still using this method of outreach.

I know what you mean. I'm actually using it to give us a place to have Church temporarily until we can rent a building. I also wanted to use it as an opportunity to get a few more members. I already know a few that want to come.

A tent meeting wouldn't work here in PHX between the months of May - September or October.

Yes. South east. That's the only reason I considered it. It came today and we got it put up. :-)

Tent meetings are very common in the south east.

Re: I need advice for tent revival

When I was young I was in many tent revivals. Some very large and some very small. Must have been much tougher then?

Re: I need advice for tent revival

We have that Costco generator that use gas or propane. It is great to use the propane and have the tank full as a back up just in case. I think propane use is a bit cheaper as well but it is still very noisy either way.

God Bless your efforts.
