Dear Senior Pastor,
Dear Pastor,
Thank you for your interest in the Prayer Revival / Prayer Revival Weekend. God’s central desire and definition for the local church is that it be known as a “house of prayer.” Our goal is to move individuals and churches toward God’s ideal through plain preaching, teaching and times of prayer implementation.
This Prayer Revival section should answer any questions you may have about this event. A proposed schedule is included. Should circumstances dictate, we may be able to alter the schedule to accommodate your particular situation.
Debbie and I travel together in our travel trailer. All we will need is a suitable place to park the travel trailer with a 30 or 50 amp electric hook-up and water connection.
Regarding financial arrangements, we ask the sponsoring church to provide a pro-rated travel expense in advance and receive a love offering in all services for Christ Life Ministries.
Please feel free to call with any questions. I do look forward to working with you in this worthy endeavor.
Every blessing!
Your Servant for Revival,
Harold Vaughan
Logistics
Financial Policy
We ask the sponsoring church to provide a pro-rated travel expense ($495 for Prayer Revivals within a 300 mile radius of Roanoke, VA) in advance. When farther from Roanoke, Harold will fly instead of bringing travel trailer. This will be customized a customized travel expense situation.
We make no demands, but ask that love offerings be received for our ministry utilizing our envelopes. These envelopes let the people understand what they are giving to. Any checks should be written to the Local Church. One check should be written at the end of the Prayer Revival to Christ Life Ministries. These love offerings go entirely to Christ Life Ministries. Please let me know if this procedure is acceptable.
Where to Conduct the Prayer Revival
The Prayer Revival is designed for the participation of the entire church during all the evening and Sunday morning services. Most likely the auditorium will be the best setting for these times. Depending on the number of people in Saturday morning sessions (during the Prayer Revival Weekend), it may prove helpful to set up a classroom style setting in the fellowship hall or other appropriate setting.
Items Needed

- Two Large tables for books and materials

Accomodations
When distance permits, my wife and I come together and stay in our travel trailer. All that is needed is a water hookup and electricity. Our trailer requires a 30 or 50 amp R.V. hookup. The plug needs to be within 40 feet of the rear of the trailer. The electric breaker, appropriate wire, and R.V. plug can be obtained at an electrical store and should be installed by an electrician who understands R.V. electrical needs.
50 AMP Receptacle
30 AMP Receptacle
When I fly in, I need to stay in a “newer” hotel. Since I have chronic sinusitis, the room must be clean and free of dust and smoke. I have found that Marriott® brand hotels normally have the best air quality for my condition. Please, let me know in advance if hotel accommodations are not possible.
