- Identifying the team leader
- Recruiting and training team members
- Ordering supplies
- Picking a spot to evangelize
Costs
All of our workshops are heavily subsidized by St. Paul Street Evangelization. We do not have a set amount we charge (though we do provide guidelines); instead we ask that your team prays about what to give as a donation for our work.
Expenses include transportation and accommodations for the speaker, making copies of handouts, and the return shipping on any leftover items from a sales table.
Workshops that include the “live lab” may have additional costs for materials to use during evangelization.
Finally, you are also responsible for any hospitality or meals you offer your participants. You may recoup your costs by charging participants a fee to attend. Most groups charge $25-40 per person. We will provide online registration and deduct any money collected from your final invoice.
