What Does It Cost?
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.
CatnDogTheology.com is a full-time Christian ministry primarily funded by the "Love Offerings". 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 honorariums and/or love offerings and the donations from individual Christians.
Please remember, 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 even if it's just some special occasion.
Even though this is my "full time occupation" and the way I support my family... I am obviously not doing this "for the money." Other than the basic expenses and mileage costs, I primarily rely on the free-will love offerings and honorariums mentioned above to support my ministry and family. I will make no mention 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.
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)

Financial Questions / Suggestions
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.
As you read this, remember these are only suggestions - your circumstances of need or blessing may be different. I am willing to work with you any way I can to make this life-changing event available to you.
WHAT PRICE DO YOU CHARGE?
I never set a price on my ministry. I pledge to do all I can for you and hope you'll do all you can me.
WHAT DO YOU REQUIRE?
Actually, very little...
(1) Cover my travel expenses; and
(2) Whatever you can do to help me keep going and sharing this ministry.
SHOULD WE TAKE A LOVE OFFERING?
If your heart and spirit leads you that way - that's fine!
CAN WE AVOID THE "LOVE OFFERINGS" AND JUST GIVE AN HONOARIUM ?
Of course you can. Just call me and we'll work something out.
-
WHAT HONORARIUM DO YOU EXPECT?
(See Above): I never set a price on my ministry. I pledge to do all I can for you and hope you'll do all you can me.
CAN WE GIVE A SMALLER HONORARIUM AND ADD A LOVE OFFERING?
After all you've read above... what do you think?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ORGANIZATIONS OTHER THAN CHURCHES:
If you are an organization other than a church, we will work something out with you.
Don't be shy - go ahead, contact us.
The guiding principle will be the same as you read above: I'll do all I can for you and trust you will do all you can for me.
