Facilitator Responsibilities
The primary purpose of the facilitator is to
keep the meeting moving and on topic. The facilitator should:
• Interject questions that relate to the scripture being read
• Encourage discussion
• Encourage participants to testify to everyday life experiences
that relate to the scripture at hand
• Be responsible to redirect the meeting back on subject when it
gets off track
• Rely on the Holy Spirit for guidance throughout the meeting
Toward the end of the discussion, the facilitator should:
• Ask for prayer requests and testimonies. The prayer or testimonies
will occur after the closing prayer at 8:00pm
With the host’s help, the discussion should end 5-10 minutes before
8:00pm so those who are seeking a touch from God can make their
requests known. Be ready to excuse people after the reading of the
closing prayer if they do not want to stay for prayer.
