Hunter Ministries

City-Wide
Coordinator Manual

We have included this manual with the Hunter books

because it is a well though out strategy
for holding larger meetings.
 Citywide Coordinator
An Overview
The position of CITY-WIDE COORDINATOR for a Healing Explosion is of vital
importance to the overall success of this event. In cities where the pastors and their
churches work together in unity on behalf of a Healing Explosion, auditoriums are
packed and thousands of lives are touched by the power of God. In cities where this does
not take place, results are far less effective.

As the CITY-WIDE COORDINATOR, your job is to generate the participation,

support and cooperation of as many churches as possible and coordinate their combined
efforts to undergird the meeting in prayer, publicize the event, and personally invite as
many as possible to the Healing Explosion.

As the CITY-WIDE COORDINATOR, you will NOT be responsible in any way for
the finances required to meet the expenses of the Healing Explosion and its associated
meetings, nor for selection and management of such facilities as the auditorium/arena and
conference hotel. You will be totally dedicated to working with the area churches,
stimulating and coordinating their involvement.

Communication between all members of the Crusade Team is vital. Please keep in
regular contact with the Dallas Representative coordinating the activities in your city as
well as the Crusade Coordinator.

 Pastors/Leaders Meeting
Hunter Ministries will schedule a PASTORS/LEADERS MEETING and invite area
pastors and other Christian leaders of the area by mail and phone. You will be introduced
as the CITY-WIDE COORDINATOR for the Healing Explosion and will be asked to
briefly share your vision of what the Healing Explosion can do for your city. This is
where your duties officially begin.

NOTE: Any contacts with pastors and organization leaders which you can make
prior to the luncheon to encourage their participation will be extremely helpful. Close
contact with the Dallas Representative coordinating this meeting is very important.

During this meeting, the vision of the Healing Explosion, how each Pastor can start a
VIDEO HEALING SCHOOL in his own church and the organizational structure for
church participation in the event will be explained. Each pastor will be asked to assign
one or two members of his church (or fellowship group) to each of the six committees
and return with those representatives to an ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING scheduled
approximately six weeks prior to the Healing Explosion. (For a description of these
committees, see the section entitled COMMIITEES.)
 Following the Pastors/Leaders Meeting
Within a week after the luncheon, you should contact by telephone or in person the
pastors and leaders who attended or were represented at the luncheon. (This may be done
by a capable staff member under your direct supervision.)
During this follow-up contact, you should:
1. Share the excitement and enthusiasm felt by you and others in your city.
2. Do they have a Healing School?
a. Do they need supplies?
b. Do they understand the best format for conducting a Video Healing School?
c. Offer encouragement and suggestions for THEIR success in assisting THEIR
people to grow and become involved.
d. Encourage all churches to begin a school. Emphasize what a school can do for
their church.
e. Explain that all healing team applications need to be completed and mailed in at
the start of the school.
f. (Review section entitled HEALING SCHOOLS.)
3. Stress the importance of the upcoming ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING and answer
any questions about its purpose.
a. Make sure they understand they are to bring as many representatives as possible
from their church for EACH of the six committees.
You should also contact by telephone or in person those pastors and leaders who were not
represented at the PASTORS/LEADERS MEETING. Proceed according to the
following outline:
1. Begin with churches which are most likely to become involved.
2. Continue with key churches from every denominational affiliation. (You will be
surprised at those who say Yes.)
3. Mention well known churches that are already participating. This is important to
pastors and may have a major influence on their decision to become involved.
4. Stress the importance of the ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING. Ask them to bring as
many representatives as possible from their church.
Again, the above calling may be done by a capable staff person under your direct
supervision.
 Organizational Meeting

The ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING is the key to the success of the Healing

Explosion. Good representation by 50 or more churches will lead to a successful Healing
Explosion. Past ORGANIZATIONAL MEETINGS have been attended by as many as
700 representatives from 70 churches. It is not unreasonable to have a goal of 100 or
more participating churches for a Healing Explosion.

The location and date of this meeting will be scheduled by Hunter Ministries. The
CITY COORDINATOR will arrange for CITY a local music group to lead 20 minutes of
praise and worship at the beginning of this meeting. You will be introduced as the CITY-
WIDE COORDINATOR at this meeting and asked to share what the Healing Explosion
can do for your city.

After a brief discussion of the Healing Explosion and the organizational structure of a
successful Healing Explosion, the six committees will break into groups and meet briefly
with the Committee Chairmen and a member of the Hunter Staff.
Promotional supplies, video tapes, books and informational materials will be available in
quantity for distribution.

30 and 60 second radio spots will also be available upon request.

COMMI1TEE CHAIRMEN for each of the six committees will be selected and
recognized at this meeting. They will serve under your direction to assist you in carrying
out your overall objectives of stimulating and coordinating the efforts of all participating
churches and organizations in your city. Although you will be asked to give
recommendations for people to chair these committees, Hunter Ministries' personnel will
assist you in final selection and appointing the COMMI1TEE CHAIRMEN during the
ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING.
 Healing School

VIDEO HEALING SCHOOLS will be held throughout the area surrounding the
Healing Explosion site. To qualify for a Healing Team, Spirit-filled Christians must watch
14 hours of video teaching by Charles and Frances Hunter as well as read the book HOW
TO HEAL THE SICK.

To facilitate this teaching, the video tapes are on loan to local churches and
fellowship groups for several months prior to the Healing Explosion. The tapes are to be
shown free of charge to everybody who wishes to view them. Offerings may be taken to
defray expenses. The tapes may be purchased at any time.

The book HOW TO HEAL THE SICK as well as any other Hunter Book are available
at a 40% discount to all Video School Coordinators. They have the option to sell the
books at retail and again use the profit to defray expenses e.g. utilities, advertising, fliers
etc.

Many VIDEO HEALING SCHOOLS will be started during the

PASTORS/LEADERS LUNCHEON. Many others will be started through phone
contacts made by our Dallas Video Coordinators. One Coordinator will be working
exclusively on your city contacting all the local pastors/leaders and encouraging them to
get involved with the Explosion.

This Dallas VIDEO COORDINATOR will also be in close contact with every VIDEO
HEALING SCHOOL COORDINATOR to encourage them, answer any questions and
keep them up-to-date on current developments. Since many of the active COMMITTEE
MEMBERS are also attending VIDEO SCHOOLS, some duplication of contact is
inevitable.

Video tapes are to be returned to the Houston office or to the Healing Explosion book
table before the completion of the Explosion. Invoices requesting payment will be mailed
approximately two weeks after the Explosion to those who have not complied. Tapes can
be purchased at any time to enable your school to remain ongoing.
 Healing Team Members

Specific requirements are set up for all HEALING TEAM MEMBERS. Please review
and encourage all prospective team members to comply.

1. They must be Spirit-filled (Baptism in the Holy Spirit will be ministered the
first night.)

2. They must read ALL the book HOW TO HEAL THE SICK.

3. They must view ALL 14 hours of video teaching HOW TO HEAL THE SICK
or listen to the 14 hours of audio.

4. They must be at ALL the live training sessions on the day of the
Explosion...and should make every effort to be at ALL training sessions possible.

Healing Team Supervisors

Because baby team members have many questions and need encouragement, many
SUPERVISORS are needed the night of the Explosion. Those qualified team members
who have ministered at two or more Explosions in the past will be interviewed briefly
and considered for the positions of HEALING TEAM SUPERVISORS. Local Spirit
filled pastors may also be recommended to assist with supervision.

Final assignments for SUPERVISORS will lay with Bob Barker, International Crusade
Director during the final instructions for the HEALING TEAMS.
 Committee Chairmen
Where possible, the CHAIRMEN should come from various
churches/groups/denominations and should have the coordination abilities necessary to
fulfill the duties set forth for their committees.

Approximately five working days after the ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING, the

following lists of those attending the meeting will be sent out by the Houston office
of Hunter Ministries:

1. As the CITY-WIDE COORDINATOR, you will receive a list of ALL people

attending the ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING including CHAIRMAN name,
address, phone and church affiliation of all members of his committee.

2. Each person attending the ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING will receive the

name and telephone number of all COMMITTEE CHAIRMEN

3. The video school listing and church listing will be a good source for
additional committee members if necessary.
 Committee Members
The names, addresses and phone numbers of all COMMITTEE MEMBERS within
each local church should be maintained by each Church Representative for his
committee. These names, addresses and phone numbers should be passed on by the
Church Representatives to the CITY-WIDE COMMITTEE CHAIRMEN no later than
two weeks prior to the Healing Explosion. This is vitally important and serves two
purposes:

1. Insures that all Committee Members can be contacted quickly with any last minute
instructions.

2. Is there adequate numbers for the work to be accomplished? Is additional

recruitment of volunteers necessary?

As the CITY-WIDE COORDINATOR, you must require these lists of your

COMMITTEE CHAIRMEN, who in turn must require them from their Church
Representatives. This stimulates accountability and verifies the work is being done.

This list of names should be forwarded to the Houston office of Hunter Ministries.
Specific last minute instructions and encouragement will be mailed to each committee
member a few days before the Explosion as well as a thank you following the close of
the Healing Explosion meetings.
 Committee Meetings
A CITY-WIDE COMMITIEE MEETING should be scheduled by each
COMMITTEE CHAI RMAN with one or two representatives from each participating
church attending.

These meetings should be held at least three weeks prior to the Healing Explosion.
The selection of a location, date and time, as well as the calling of these meetings, are the
responsibility of the respective COMMITTEE CHAIRMEN.

However, as the CITY-WIDE COORDINATOR, you need to instruct them in their

responsibility to hold these meetings and verily that these meetings do take place in a
timely manner.

At each of these CITY-WIDE COMMITTEE MEETINGS, the respective

COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN will encourage each church representative, answer
questions, discuss the progress being made in the churches, make suggestions and have a
time of corporate prayer.

Publicity supplies should be distributed through all of these CITY-WIDE

COMMITTEE MEETINGS. Requests for posters, fliers, and/or tabloids need to be
submitted to the Houston office at least 10 working days prior to the scheduled meeting
date. Dial 1-800-231-3024 and ask for PUBLICITY.

Local Church Committee Meetings

Each Church Representative (or co-representatives) should hold a meeting of the
Committee Members in their church within one week following the CITY-WIDE
COMMITTEE MEETING which they attend.

The purpose of these meetings is to explain to every Committee Member the function
of that committee and assign Committee Member specific tasks. The representative
heading up that committee within his church is responsible for calling this meeting and
for following up with his members to be sure that the work is getting done.

As the CITY-WIDE COORDINATOR you need to explain this procedure to your

COMMITTEE CHAIRMEN when you meet with them.
 Ongoing Contact with Committee Chairmen
As the CITY-WIDE COORDINATOR you must maintain on-going contact with each
of your COMMI1TEE CHAIRMEN. Monitor their progress and give direction where
needed.

Stay in close contact with the Publicity Chairman and be responsible for contacting
the Houston Office of Hunter Ministries for additional promotional materials.

Also be certain that the Prayer Chairman has scheduled at least two CITY-WIDE
PRAYER MEETINGS prior to the Healing Explosion.

MEETING OF COMMITFEE CHAIRMEN

Within two weeks following the ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING, you must have a
meeting with all of your COMMI1TEE CHAIRMEN. The selection of a location, date
and time, as well as the calling of this meeting is your responsibility.

The purposes of this meeting are as follows:

1. Generate a team spirit that will strengthen the chairmen in their respective tasks.
Calling this meeting, praying and sharing together will overcome any apprehensions
that the COMMI1TEE CHAIRMEN may have about fulfilling their assignment.

2. Go over the organization chart and explain how the organizational structure works.
(See section entitled ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE.)

3. Answer any questions which the Committee CHAIRMEN may have about their
duties. Your good judgment combined with regular contact with the Hunter Ministries
staff will enable you to answer most questions on the spot, or if not, then promise an
answer within a couple of days.

4. Monitor the progress of your Committee CHAIRMEN. When Committee

CHAIRMEN understand that you will be contacting them regularly for a progress
report, they will stay motivated.
