It's important to get a ministry team ready to pray with those people at the event who may need to respond in some way to God. These responses could include people who are turning to God for the first time. Others may need to process a matter of the heart with someone or celebrate a healing or a new sense of freedom. It's important that this team of people is ready.
One model of how to manage prayer ministry we have found useful is that used by the Alpha Course, where males pray with males and females pray with females, usually with an extra person in the background to pray for the person praying. We also recommend the Alpha leaflet, "Why Jesus?" as a starting point for people who are beginning their journey with Jesus. It's also helpful to have a New Testament or a complete Bible to give to people as needed.
Following up people after an event is also crucial, especially connecting them with a local group of believers (if they are not already) and helping them walk out what God may have begun at the event in their everyday lives.
