SPEAKERS
Need a Speaker?

Affordable
Speakers Network


Want to find a quality speaker near you? Jonathan McKee started the AFFORDABLE SPEAKER'S NETWORK because he found that many small churches could not afford to fly out a professional speaker. (If you're looking for a professional speaker- click here) Well, if you're in the U.S. and on a super tight budget, you can check and see if there is one of THE SOURCE FOR YOUTH MINISTRY'S AFFORDABLE SPEAKER'S NETWORK speakers near you.

WHAT'S THE COST?

Here's how it works. These speakers are not employed by THE SOURCE. They are just good speakers that Jonathan McKee is willing to recommend. Also, they have ALL agreed to fall into one of two affordable price brackets:
  • Yellow Network: These speakers would earn $500 a weekend, or $1,000 a week.
  • Red Network: These speakers would earn $1,000 a weekend, or $1,500 a week.
These speakers would pay for their own travel costs- because they would only travel within reasonable driving distance (up to 3 or 4 hours away). And you, the booking party would pay the above honorarium and acceptable room and board.

DO YOU HAVE THE GIFT OF SPEAKING?

Do you love communicating truth to students? I consistently get e-mails from youth workers looking for good speakers in their area. Well, here is an opportunity for you if you'd like to do more speaking, and earn a little extra income.

THE SOURCE AFFORDABLE-SPEAKER'S NETWORK:
That's right, we at THE SOURCE want to provide a database of proven speakers as a resource for youth workers across the globe. These speakers will be available for booking on THE SOURCE FOR YOUTH MINISTRY's web site, which currently is receiving about 3/4 of a million hits a month.
