This is completely up to you. You can purchase your own tent or rent one from your local outdoor rental store. You can also ask someone to borrow one. Any size, big or small, will do!

Relationship and prayer. Start with the people you know and invite them to participate. Use your current connections to meet new people and build new relationships. Don’t be afraid to approach different churches and ministries that you don’t know. A simple coffee and an invitation can open the door to God beginning a greater move in your city!

The tent host and their local team is responsible for raising the cost for their tent event. Once you’ve created a budget for your tent, you can share that information and fundraise via hosting small gatherings, email, and social media. Communicate the heart of the vision well, and people will respond!

Yes! We greatly encourage all tent hosts to build a team of leaders who can take on different tasks before, during, and after your tent event. This will help lower stress and create family leadership! Ideally, your team will represent multiple local churches and ministries from your area.

We desire that all tent hosts try their best to fill their tents with 24 hours of live worship and prayer. Not every hour has to be a full worship team. It’s ok if there is just one or two people. It’s also ok to put on a CD or stream music in the background while one person prays. No matter how simple or how small, His presence changes everything!

Yes! We can provide you with resources for simple training in outreach. You can plan your own schedule and teams to send out while there is worship and prayer happening in your tent. Prayer fuels the outreach and outreach fuels the prayer, creating a powerful dynamic for more sons and daughters to come into the kingdom family of God!

Many of our helpful resources can be found in the Tent Host Portal including the Tent Host Kit, E-Course, Graphics, etc. You can also connect with other tent hosts and ATD leaders to get help and resources in the ATD National Leadership Network Facebook group.
