The revival crusades last no less than one week and sometimes as long as 4 weeks. The normal crusade is two to three weeks. Two meetings are held each day five to six days each week. The morning meetings are centered on the teaching of the word of God and the evening meetings are a time of demonstration of the word by the Holy Spirit. The gifts of the Spirit are operating in the people after the meetings conclude as well as a new fire released within them. Once the people have been blessed, they can now be a blessing to others.
Rapha Ministries works along side pastors and church leaders to see revival and renewal come to different areas around the world. The understanding that it is the local church that is commissioned by the Lord to reach the lost is a basic issue in these meetings. Yet the local church must become a place operating in the dynamic power of the Holy Spirit. For that to take place, people in the church must first experience God's power in their lives before they can minister it as life to others. God must first do the work in you before He can do it through you.

The importance of revival in the church cannot be over-stated. However, the church must come to a place where it lives daily in the flow of revival. If revival is just a series of meetings that one goes to once or twice a year, it is not a true revival. Revival must radically change the person inside and out. Revival must touch every aspect of who we are in every aspect of life. Only then do we become a witness in power not just in word for the Lord Jesus wherever we go.
