So as to not break the "no theology discussion" rule, I'm going to stick to very practical stuff...

1. The leader must know how to arrange
2. The singers and musicians must be well rehearsed
3. Instruments must be in tune
4. The leader must intentionally engage those in the crowd...exhortations, interactivity, participation must be encouraged and reinforced. People will only go where they are led, and the leader must engage people.
5. The leader must know where he is leading the people, and with divine help, must create moments in the set for people to respond, interact, and internalize with the theme or focus.
6. The sound person must be properly trained and in sync with the platform leader in terms of where the gathering is going directionally and sonically. Incidentally, I believe it's very important for the sound crew to be treated as members of the team.
7. The senior leadership of the organization must all be on the same page directionally before the gathering.

In short:

1. Have a plan
2. Be skilled at communicating the plan
3. Have everyone be on the same page with the plan
4. Make sure the plan comes from God
5. Lead the crowd in the plan
