"Hello, this is Evangelist..." : Do you let them come preach?

We have an evangelist quarters and try to accomodate the entire family. However, I hear we're one of the few that still have 'old time' revivals.

Everything other than "old time" revivals needs to be done away with.

But the evangelist cold calling the pastor for an invite?

I was taught that you should never call a man and ask to preach for him. That could be why I don't preach out much.........

I think the way things are done in the day we're in now is not conducive to "old time" evangelists....

I am wary of and don't like having somebody preach that I don't already know in some manner beforehand. I would rather approach and ask them, than to have them ask me anyday....

That being said, people don't fellowship one another anymore, so nobody ever learns about who any evangelists are, and the evangelists don't get to know anybody else.... If I'm visiting a meeting somewhere and hear a good preacher, I might want to get ahold of him and invite him to preach for me too. And vice versa, the evangelist would get to meet me if I was visiting there... And some networking would go on.

I think that by and large, most people reside in their own little hole and don't know anything that's going on at the church down the road, across town, or the next town over....except for all the bad stuff that everybody gossips about...that spreads like wildfire...but the good stuff nobody talks about, and they won't associate with each other, so nobody knows anybody.
