Weekend of Awakening is available
free-of-charge to congregations in all 50 states on a first-come,
first-serve basis. Requests from mission churches or those who
could not afford such a workshop are especially encouraged to contact
us.
The
Lord has blessed my family with a business that provides our
financial needs. Even my travel and expenses are taken care of through
a special fund set up by fellow Christians. This allows me to go to congregations that may not be able to afford a
weekend workshop or seminar.
Some of my brethren have said, "You need to charge at least something
for the workshop. If you don't charge anything, the churches will
take the weekend for granted and not really appreciate what has been
done for them." But as a fine group of church shepherds commented
to me from II Corinthians 11:7, "Paul preached the gospel free of
charge." Even our salvation, according to Ephesians 2:8, is "the
free gift of God."
I certainly have no objection to financially supporting individuals who
preach and teach, but at this time in my life, I do not require that
assistance. So, with Paul and the Lord, I'll just take the risk of
not being appreciated by offering something for "free."
What is the
church’s responsibility?
The only requirement for the hosting church is to provide transportation
to and from the airport, motel and church building.
Yes, the workshop is absolutely free to hosting
congregations – no speaker’s fee – no travel or motel expenses. By
God’s grace, this ministry remains free to churches that desire to take
advantage of it!
Personal Invitation
I will be happy to send
personal invitations concerning the workshop to area churches. The
hosting church is responsible for providing a correct listing of
churches and addresses.
