"Do you have a fee for speaking?" I do not have a set fee for speaking. Each host can either provide an honorarium of their choice or take a love offering for the ministry. It is our desire that limited finances not be a determining factor in my coming to speak to your group. We trust that God will guide you as you pray and ask Him how He would have you bless the ministry as we also seek His fullness in being a blessing to you. If your organization has a official speaker's agreement/contract, I would be happy to fulfill those requirements. Otherwise, once we have confirmed the speaking date, I will assume that our word is our bond.
