Finances

I. Workshops, Leadership Training, Retreats, Conferences: Suggested minimum honorarium, in addition to travel and food expense, lodging and cost of materials, is $500 per day of involvement ($1500 for a full weekend or three-day event). If revenues exceed the need, Frontline's policy is that a church or organization cover overhead, promotional expenses, my expenses and minimum honorarium, and pass on at least 50% of any remaining balance. If meetings are well-attended, we both benefit from the blessing. Finances are typically covered in one of three ways:

A. The church or organization covers the cost out of budget.
B. Participants pay a registration fee for the workshop or conference
    (suggest $25/person, $40/couple).
C. Free Will Offering. This can also supplement a budgetary shortfall.

Note: I prefer not using a formal registration fee, trusting the Lord to provide through offerings, or a combination of budget plus offerings. Fees can discourage attendance.

II. Sunday AM or PM Services, Chapels, etc.: Honorarium for a single event ranges from $200 to $500, depending on time involvement and individual circumstances.

III. Counseling: I am minimally available during seminars to respond to counseling needs. I prefer to screen requests and schedule appointments as appropriate. No formal charges will be asked for counseling, but a donation of $50 to $75 is suggested. Receiving help from the Lord's grace and gifts will not be denied those unable to contribute.

IV. Prayer Summits: For three- or four-day prayer summits, suggested honorarium is $1,000 minimum, up to $1,200.

V. Travel Expenses: Air Fare at actual cost, auto expense reimbursed at $0.30/mile, and airport parking fees ($8/day).

VI. Lodging: Proper rest is imperative for me to be at my best, and maximally productive. In most cases, a motel accomodation assures this. A quiet, protected home environment is fine, if available, and if cost is a consideration. Lodging with a person or family in need of personal counseling is not advised.

VII. Payment: Checks should be written to "Frontline Ministries". If possible, payment of expenses and honorarium at the close of a meeting is appreciated, or soon after.

Logistics

I. To best maximize time, energy, and resources invested in a meeting, I believe strongly that those responsible for this effort make a commitment to good planning, quality communication and mobilization of intercession prior to and during the meetings.

II. Frontline will provide suggestions for and samples of promotional brochures, and a photo, as requested.

III. It is helpful and appreciated if the host church or organization can provide the following:

A. A worship leader, sensitive to the movement of the Spirit, and gifted in leading praise and worship, both instrumentally and a capella. This is vital and integral to the seminars.
B. Workers available to process registrations and oversee tape and book sales.
C. A table set up for display of books, videos, and ministry materials.
D. Light refreshments for breaks.
E. Overhead projector set up and ready for use.
F. Wireless microphone (if available).
G. Room for prayer and personal counseling before and after teaching sessions.
H. Trained, seasoned prayer counselors available and on-call for ministry times.
I. Promotion of the meeting to other churches through brochures, bulletin inserts, newspaper ads, and radio spots.
