Hotel

Please make the reservation well in advance to get the best price and availability. Please reserve a room at a hotel that meets the following criteria:

  • A room with a workspace (i.e. desk, chair, and WIFI).
  • A hotel with a restaurant and room service is preferred. 
  • A smoke-free hotel: Smoking hotels expose guests to secondhand smoke, its toxic residue, and the unpleasant stench of stale smoke. The US Surgeon General says there is no safe level of exposure to secondhand smoke. Exposure to secondhand smoke causes lung cancer, heart disease, emphysema, asthma, pneumonia, bronchitis, allergies, and ear, nose, and throat conditions. 
  • Surgeon General | Secondhand Smoke
  • Health Effects of Secondhand Smoke | CDC
  • A pet-free hotel: Hotels with rooms set apart for disabled guests and their service dogs are OK; but pet-friendly hotels accommodate pets in any room and expose guests to fleas, ticks, dander, soiled carpet, foul odors, and pet noise. The American Lung Association says pet allergens cause irritation to the eyes, nasal congestion, coughing, breathing difficulties, allergies, eczema and rashes.
  • Pet Allergy | Symptoms and causes | Mayo Clinic
  • Pet Dander | American Lung Association

Payment & check-in: Please complete the payment and check-in process in advance and leave the room keys at the front desk for pick up to avoid delay upon arrival. If required, please provide the hotel with a credit card to cover incidental charges (WIFI, phone, snacks, room service, etc.) that are not part of the main bill.

Basket: Many hosts leave a “Welcome Fruit Basket” in the room. A welcome basket is not necessary, but Frank would appreciate some:

  • AC adapters.
  • Hand sanitizer.
  • Several bottles of drinking water for each night’s stay (Aquafina preferred).

Thank you for accommodating Frank in a hotel that provides a secure, clean, comfortable, and healthy environment.

IMPORTANT: Please complete the Hotel Form as soon as possible. We request this information so Frank’s family and office can contact him.

Stage Plan

Please add a touch of reverb to the guitar and mic and confirm the guitar and vocals can be heard through the stage monitor speaker. 

When Frank arrives, please have a member of the audio team available to assist him with the setup.

Altar Call Help

Please appoint men to assist Frank during altar calls. Have them only make physical contact with people who need assistance, stay alert, and pray quietly.

Please have one or two men stand behind people who have come forward for prayer and follow Frank as he moves down the line. Keep lines in order, lines should be only one person deep so catchers can move freely behind them. People waiting should remain in the aisles and “fed” up front as space permits.

If someone begins to fall, please break their fall by supporting and gently guiding them to the floor; making sure they do not harm themselves or others. When people are ready, please help them get up off the floor so they can return to their seats.

Please prevent people who are very emotional from injuring themselves or others.
