For the inbound flight, have the driver to verify the flight’s arrival time since flights may be early or delayed. The driver should hold a sign with “Frank Butler” on it and wait outside the customs exit to greet Frank.

For the outbound flight, Ensure the driver arrives at the airport terminal with Frank three hours prior to the flight’s scheduled departure.

Frank likes to arrive 30 minutes early for the initial service and 15 minutes prior to any subsequent services.

Ensure the hotel reservation is made well in advance to secure the best rates and availability. The room should be in a hotel that adheres to the following criteria:

• A hotel with a smoke-free policy is required. Hotels that permit smoking subject guests to secondhand smoke, its harmful residues, and the lingering odor of stale tobacco. According to the US Surgeon General, there is no risk-free level of secondhand smoke exposure, which can lead to lung cancer, heart disease, emphysema, asthma, pneumonia, bronchitis, allergies, and various ear, nose, and throat issues.
• Surgeon General | Secondhand Smoke
• About Secondhand Smoke | Smoking and Tobacco Use | CDC
• Health Effects of Secondhand Smoke | CDC

• A hotel with a pet-free policy is required. While hotels that provide accommodations for disabled guests with service dogs are acceptable, pet-friendly hotels that allow pets in any room are not acceptable. Rooms in pet-friendly hotels expose guests to fleas, ticks, dander, dirty carpets, unpleasant odors, and noise from pets. The American Lung Association warns that pet allergens can cause eye irritation, nasal congestion, coughing, breathing difficulties, allergies, eczema, and rashes.
• Pet Allergy | Symptoms and causes | Mayo Clinic
• Pet Dander | American Lung Association

• A hotel with a restaurant and room service is preferred.
• Workspace in room with a desk, chair, and WIFI access.
• Please arrange for payment and check-in procedures to be completed beforehand and have the room keys ready at the front desk for collection to prevent any delays upon arrival. If necessary, provide the hotel with a credit card to cover incidental expenses (WIFI, phone calls, snacks, room service, etc.) not included in the main bill.
• It is common for hosts to leave a “Welcome Basket” in the room. While a “Welcome Basket” is not required, Frank would appreciate some hand sanitizer, apples, bananas, red grapes, pears, unsalted raw nuts (excluding peanuts), and several bottles of drinking water (preferably Aquafina) for each night’s stay.

Thank you for accommodating Frank in a hotel that ensures a safe, clean, comfortable, and healthy stay.

Please provide lunch at a restaurant that has a menu that offers a wide selection of choices. No meal required before a service or following an evening service.

For speaking, Frank requires the following:

– Sound system and stage monitor speaker.
– Pulpit or an adjustable music stand (tables are not acceptable).
– Hand-held or lapel microphone (over-the-head or over-the-ear headsets are not suitable).
– Bottled drinking water, preferably Aquafina.

Assign men to support Frank during altar calls, allowing them to make physical contact only when necessary, to remain vigilant, and to pray in silence.

Ensure one or two men are positioned behind those who step forward for prayer, accompanying Frank as he progresses. Organize the lines to be single-file, enabling catchers to navigate easily. Those awaiting their turn should stay in the aisles and approach the front as room allows.

Should anyone start to fall, assist by cushioning their descent and guiding them safely to the ground, ensuring they and others are unharmed. Once individuals are prepared, aid them in standing so they may return to their seats.

Take measures to safeguard individuals who are highly emotional from causing harm to themselves or others. 

To create a peaceful atmosphere during altar calls, please play gentle, soft, slow-paced worship songs either through the PA system or live with a guitar or keyboard accompanied by two vocalists.

Frank would like to use songs during altar calls from the list below:
