General Policies for Ministry from the Passion and Fire Leadership Team

***Please read this carefully before filling out the Ministry Request Form.

It is a primary goal of Passion and Fire Worship Center to serve the Body of Christ in the most fruitful way possible.  Because we receive ministry requests, we have developed the following general parameters for the requests that we are likely to accept:  

Note:  We will accept requests for ministry that do not fall within these parameters, but only with the clear leading from the Lord.

1.  We ask that all who are requesting ministry from members of our team would fill out a Ministry Request Form.  This form supplies us with the vital information so that we can consider the request for team members to minister at your conference or special event.

2.  It is the policy of Passion and Fire Worship Center that all members go out in teams of two or more.

3.  Because one of our basic goals is to help to stimulate the Body of Christ, we ask that meetings include an emphasis that is geared toward a regional vision to those from various congregations or backgrounds.

4.  We view a devotion to prayer by the inviting group, with a commitment to prayer covering before, during and after our ministry, as essential for lasting fruit and protection of our team members.

5.  Because we are "exhorted to know those who labor among you, " we do like to know, and feel that we can work well with other invited speakers and ministries.

6.  We give the highest priority to invitations from those with whom we have developed a relationship or who are strongly recommended by someone whom we know and respect.

7.  Because we do not want to plant seeds that will not be watered, we will give the highest priority to meetings where there is a good plan for following up after our ministry.

8.  We request comfortable, peaceful accommodations for our traveling team members in a motel/hotel with a clean, family environment.  We request non-smoking rooms, preferably as far away as possible from any bar, club or other source of noise.

9.  We request that a book table be made available for materials in a high traffic area of the meeting.  We prefer to have someone staff this table who is outgoing and knowledgeable of the products and an interest in the visiting ministry.  In some cases we may staff the table with a member from our ministry staff as it is a good way to have more interchange with and learn more about the local community.

10. The only financial commitment we require is for the payment of our travel expenses, and that accommodations, meals, local travel, etc be paid by our hosts.  We do not require a specific honorarium.  We believe all ministry is a partnership of faith between our team members and the hosting group.  We do ask however that love offerings would be given to our team members for their ministry during your special event.  We believe that the laborer is worthy of his wages and that he who plows is the first to receive from the harvest, (Luke 10:7).  By planting into our team members ministry you will be receiving from the Lord and being blessed in return.  Our expenses for travel are generally as follows:

       A.  For teams traveling by airlines, unless otherwise specified by our hosts, we seek the lowest coach fares for guaranteed seats and that reimbursement is made to Passion and Fire prior to the scheduled meetings.

       B.  For travel expenses by automobile, we ask that fuel, meals, etc would be reimbursed by our hosts to the guests.

       C.  For local meetings in the surrounding Cincinnati/Tri-State region, we request a mileage reimbursement at the current mileage expense rate, currently @ $.34 per mile.

Thank you for your interest in our ministry.
