EVENT COSTS:

• When Reb flies we ask that Family Ministries receive $75 to cover miscellaneous expenses associated with traveling, ie: airport parking, tips, etc.

• Reb travels with a staff or family member acting as his assistant, so needs airfare for two, as well as reimbursement of luggage fees.

SPEAKING FEE:

• In good conscience, Reb cannot charge a fee for his ministry; particularly when event participants are not charged an entrance fee. However, Reb speaks for his living, so does rely upon financial remuneration. This mean that the gratuity is at the discretion of the event sponsors. (Please note: Reb receives no royalties from his materials, and proceeds from product sales go directly to Family Ministries, not to him.)
   

• For those who are uncertain how to compensate a speaker, we usually suggest they take into consideration several things:  The value of Reb's ministry to your group; the time given to preparation; and the number of days away from his family, including travel days [1 Tim 5:18].

SEMINAR ADMISSION COSTS:

• For full-day seminars, we ask that a registration or "Syllabus fee" be charged to cover the cost of the seminar syllabus -- $8 at the door and $5 in advance. The syllabus is meant to be optional -- not everyone need purchase one. The discounted $5 early registration/syllabus fee is to prompt advance registrations, which will help event planners better determine projected attendance and plan accordingly.

ATTENDANCE:

• In order for Reb to reach the broadest number of people, thereby making the best use of his time away from his family, we ask that any group sponsoring a seminar work to have a minimum of 100 in attendance. For some this will be easy, but for others this will require diligence in publicity.

TRAVEL:

·      LOCAL EVENTS: We ask that convention sponsors provide airfare to all events located at a distance beyond a 3-hour drive from the Bradleys' home one-hour north of Sacramento. When Reb & Bev drive to more local events we request that they be reimbursed for mileage @ 47 cents p/mile. We will send an invoice giving total miles at the conclusion of the weekend. 

·      AIR TRAVEL: Reb travels with a staff or family member acting as her assistant, so needs airfare for two passengers.  

·      EXPENSES: When Reb flies, we ask that Family Ministries receive $75 in advance to cover miscellaneous travel expenses, ie: airport parking, tips, etc.

·     SCHEDULING: to ensure flight reservations do not conflict with Reb’s schedule, Family Ministries will make all travel arrangements. We will always seek to book the lowest rate available, taking into account layover durations and luggage limitations. Family Ministries will purchase all airfare and then bill for reimbursement before the event.

·      AIRPORT PICK UP: Due to unfamiliarity with new areas, and the complications that can accompany car rentals, Reb appreciates being picked up at the airport rather than being provided a rental car.

·      BAGGAGE: Since most airlines (except Southwest) now charge extra for luggage, we ask that luggage reimbursement be included with airfare. Average baggage fees for two people = $240 (Southwest Airlines = $0).

LODGING:

• Reb will need a non-smoking room with two, queen-size beds, one for each he and his assistant, or one king-size bed when both Reb and Beverly travel together. Reb and Bev are both tall, so please remember that bed size is important.

BOOK AND CD SALES:

• Family Ministries is a non-profit organization which publishes and distributes Reb's materials, as well as coordinates his conference speaking. In order to offer conference participants the most help possible, wherever Reb speaks he requests that display space be made available for the display of Family Ministries materials.

EQUIPMENT NEEDED:

• Reb uses his laptop at the pulpit and a video projector. He will use his own projector unless the facility has its own projector and is set up with video cable connections at the pulpit. Please notify us regarding the cable setup of your facility. 

TIME FRAME FOR SEMINARS:

• Most of Reb's seminars are scheduled over two days: Friday from 7 PM - 9:30 PM and Saturday from 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM (Exact ending time depends on return flight schedule.)

• One-day seminars run from 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM with two 15-minute breaks and a 1-hour lunch.  Depending on the seminar, the lunch break falls between 11:30 and 12:30. Registration opens at 8:00.

• Evening sessions typically last 1 hour each. For 2-session evening seminars there is a 15 minute break between the sessions.

REVIEW OF EVENT COSTS:

·        AIRFARE FOR TWO: Reb and an assistant

·         BAGGAGE FEES: Reimbursement for two passengers = $240 (Southwest Airlines = $0)

·        TRAVEL FEE: Reimbursement for miscellaneous travel expenses = $75

KEY TO EFFECTIVE MINISTRY

• Over the years we have learned that there are crucial ingredients for a successful event. Prayer, we have concluded, is preeminent. Logistical preparation and publicity are obviously necessary for making events go smoothly, but all the meticulous planning in the world is useless for changing lives. If we want an event to have lasting spiritual impact, God must be called upon to move. We therefore, encourage you to gather a team of people who will pray for the fruitfulness of your upcoming event.

OTHER GUIDELINES:

• More detailed guidelines will be emailed to event sponsors throughout the booking process.
