CROSSOVER Preparation and Formation Part 2

The CROSSOVER Teacher

1. Must be extremely familiar with the CROSSOVER type of ministry and material. Study and prepare "yourself".

2. Do not "preach" or "lecture"; session must allow attendees to walk through their encounter,  inner healing, deliverance, etc.

3. Stay mindful of the time and stay within the allotted time as much as possible.

4. Know that you cannot teach everything about the subject in the 20--30 minutes time frame.

5. Direct Helpers as needed during the session and ministry time.

6. During ministry, insure that everyone is ministered to appropriately and individually. It is not necessary to conduct ministry in "altar call" style. Attendees are usually asked to kneel and
pray where they are seated.


The Ministry Helpers

1. Be in an attitude of prayer and intercession for the attendees during the CROSSOVER.

2. Seek unity and teamwork with the other Team members, having a humble spirit and a servant heart, always preferring one another.
