If you invite EVANGELIST Dennis Deese, What can you expect?:

Please know this first and foremost - Jesus Christ will be presented as the only way to heaven;  moreover, Dr. Deese will treat you the way he would want to be treated. That is, with the most gracious respect and loyalty at your church, business or event.  Consider (on our recent events page) the vast number of return invitations.  We are not here to be with you once but a life-time of positive real life-changing help. We want your return invitations and your recommendations and we plan to earn it.

Have you ever longed for exponential growth & positive change in your church, for days and weeks after you have a visiting Evangelist?  Do you desire not only for your church to benefit but for you as the Pastor to be honored and respected?  Also, to be cared for and listened to? Or even desire one-on-one personal help even after the meetings are over? Then you'll find this and more with Dr. Dennis Deese - he's a pastor and friend to pastors.

In fact, you will experience personal encouragement along with your congregation, from a man of God who is faithful to the Word of God!  And; a man of God desirous to sincerely help you ... and to leave positive, lasting results.

ministry BOOKING INFORMATION

The following information is provided for your convenience based upon the most asked questions we receive and our ministry preferences and what most pastors do for us.  If you have any questions, please give us a call (423-895-2847). We are willing to work with you anyway we can. We are here to help you and not to be a burden to you!

Financial information: We simply request a love offering be received during each service (preferably at the conclusion of the service) and in addition to the love offering, that our expenses for travel be reimbursed (it is understood that most conferences and seminars are honorariums). 

 

Travel Reimbursement information: For 2012, the current standard mileage reimbursement is 55.5 cents per mile allowed by I.R.S. here's the link: IRS (effective January 2012).   For your convenience, you will be provided a form at the time of the meeting with the mileage and amount based on the above (if your church or ministry is unable to provide this, please let the evangelist know). Example: if the round trip mileage (originating from Piney Flats, TN) is 200 miles the mileage reimbursement would be $111.00.

 

Rooming information:  Dr. Deese's personal preferences are Holiday Inn brands and Hampton Inn (he has pet allergies). It is fine for the evangelist to drive long distances (even up to an hour) for a hotel.  Due to our ministry integrity protection commitment, Dr. Deese is unable stay in a home.

 

Our ministry prefers and it seems to work much better for us to book the hotel and airline flights and let the church reimburse the ministry on the day of Dr. Deese's arrival or before (we use AAA for the best rate we can get).

 

Just as a side note: Dr. Deese is unable to eat before he preaches.

 

If you have any questions, please contact us and we will be glad to help you.

EXCITING DAYS

We stand at the threshold of one of the greatest opportunities for revival ever.  The current pressures and issues that many are experiencing are actually helping people realize their need for the Lord. He wants to be wanted and we can lead them to the only one who can save them and be their refuge - The Lord Jesus Christ. Praise God - Jesus still reigns! Habakkuk 3:2  LORD, I have heard of your fame; I stand in awe of your deeds, O LORD. Renew them in our day, in our time make them known;  in wrath remember mercy.
