CatnDog Theology is an international teaching ministry whose goal is to assist local churches and individuals in living for the glory of God... and doing it joyfully!
We are committed to a trans-denominational and trans-cultural ministry through the media of seminars, literature, videotape, audiotape, computer resources and formal education.
If you've gotten this far - your question at this point is probably, "Can we afford this?" I believe the answer is "YES" given the way we're setting up the financial side of making the ministry available and possible for churches of every size.
Please remember, the following are merely suggested formulas - I'm happy to work with you in any way I can to make this possible for you, your church or organizaton. I realize some situations may be inappropriate for "love offerings" - so I'm happy to work with you if your church prefers an "honorarium" or if it's just some special occasion (Father-Son / Mother-Daughter / Christmas, Valentines, Thanksgiving banquet, etc.)
Even though this is my "full time occupation" and the way I support my family... I am obviously not diong this to "make money." Other than the basic expenses and mileage costs, I primarily rely on the free-will lover offerings that are received to support my ministry and family. There is no mention by me at our presentations about financial needs or offerings.
I truly desire to serve you and your congregation through this unique ministry in such a way that the truth of Scripture is clearly conveyed, a passion for the Glory of God is developed and a heart for missions is grown.. It is my prayer and intent that God will work with your church (organization) in such a way they are uplilfted, encouraged and "joyfully convicted" - and that through it all, God is glorified.
Please read the following information carefully... it is very easy to follow. If you have any questions or need specific answers to any questions, contact me in the following ways:

CatnDogTheology.com is a full-time Christian ministry primarily funded by the "Love Offerings" or "honorariums" provided by the free-will offerings of individual churches. Our policy is to never make pleas for money or even to make the needs of our ministry known publicly. We trust the Lord to provide our needs through church love offerings and the donations from individual Christians.
The presentations that are shared require many hours of preparation, even though most of them last only one hour in length. Our ministry also requires an unusual amount of electrical equipment (computers, controllers, projectors, sound systems and more)
Even though an unusual ministry such as this is costly to operate, we will rely primarily on the free-will love offerings that are given. In addition to the offerings, man churches use one of the conservative "financial formulas" listed below to figure remuneration.
ONE SESSION:
If you are holding a single session (like a Sunday morning or evening service) all I ask is for the church to help cover our basic administrative fees - approximately $175, plus travel expenses (car, plane, lodging, food) - and in addition to covering expenses, we simply ask that a love offering be taken at the close of the presentation and be added to that basic fee and expenses. This allows people to give as they feel led to do through the love offering and keeps the actual expense to the church to a minimum. ($175 + travel/lodging + Love Offering).
TWO SESSIONS:
If you are holding 2 sessions: (Sunday morning and evening or any 2 services combination) the same formula is followed except the fee is reduced to $150 per session. ($300 + Expenses + Love Offering)
THREE OR MORE SESSIONS:
If you are holding 3 or more sessions such as a Revival Series or Missions Conference or a full seminar - again the same formula is followed.
3 Sessions = $$50 + expenses + 3 Love Offerings at each session...
4 Sessions = $600 + Expenses + 4 Love Offerings in each session...
5 Sessions = $750 + Expenses + 5 Lve Offerings in each session... etc...
CAN WE AVOID THE "LOVE OFFERINGS" AND JUST GIVE AN HONOARIUM ?
Of course you can. Just call me and we'll work something out.

ORGANIZATIONS OTHER THAN CHURCHES:
If you are an organization other than a church, and if you can't use the formulas above - we will work something out with you. If you do what you can for us -- we'll do all we can for you. Don't be shy - go ahead, contact us.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CHILDREN'S SEMINAR:
The regular seminar fee (in addition to expenses) for the children's version is $100 per hour of teaching time with a minimum of $600 for up to 75 children (grades 1-5) in attendance. If a class is larger than 75 children, please contact our office to determine if an additional speaker will be needed.
