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.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
