Thanks for considering me for your event.  Generally the fees associated with hiring me include the following: travel and preparation time, my training and experience, and time away from my family.  I would gladly present and/or perform for you for FREE, but because of my schedule and my need to be a good father to my children and a good husband to my wife, I need to charge a modest fee to justify the time spent away from them. I do ask that those who do have the financial capabilities to offer more than my requested stipend/fee, please consider doing so, in order that I may be able to minister to those who may not be able to pay the full stipend.  I am happy to work with you and your budget. I am sure we can come to some sort of agreement that will work well for both of us.  Just shoot me an email to get the conversation started: paul@pauldavisym.com
