Karen's Fees
One of the first questions everyone asks is "How much does it cost to have you come speak?" There is a simple answer and I can tell you a set fee if you like but what I encourage Women's Ministry Leaders and conference coordinators to do is call me, email me....or send a carrier pigeon with a message...after you pray.
I have a fee range but I have also spoken at conferences and retreats for free, for an offering and for reduced fees. I go where God leads me and He has never disappointed me. I encourage you not to let a tight or constrained budget dictate how you reach the women in your church and community. Rely on God and He will show you how to plan, get sponsors or raise funds if need be. Please trust that if He led you to my website or to me through someone else, then He has put you on my heart already and will work things out. Do not hesitate to share with me and I will be open, honest and trust Him as you do.
I do request that my travel and lodging be paid for but I also work hard to make those items affordable and reasonable. The earlier you book or schedule me for your event, the easier it is for me to arrange for discounted hotel and airfare. If your church is within driving distance for me then I prefer to drive there and back (I will continue to do so until the cost of fuel makes that unreasonable.)
If you found me at the last minute, don't hesitate to call or ask. I've spoken at events as small as 20 women in attendance and larger than 1,000 at others. There are times that I can squeeze you in to the calendar at the last minute and other times I cannot but you never know until you ask. Please remember that Spring and Fall are typically the busiest times of year for conferences so book as far in advance as possible but again, don't hesitate to call and ask, even if you have a short time to plan and little notice. I will go where God leads me.
God Bless you for planning an event that will reach women for God.
