Booking and Speaking
Speaker Inquiry Information
Requesting a Speaker
We at Awana would be delighted to hear from you regarding hosting one of our leaders. To facilitate your interest and requests, we have created a questionnaire that will ask you a number of preliminary questions. These questions will bring clarity and definition to the initial phone conversation you may have with one of our in-house communications team members.
Although not an exhaustive set of questions, the following form will help you and your organization, church or meeting discover whether one of the dynamic leaders of Awana is right for your event or gathering. Once we receive the completed questionnaire form we will contact you for further assessment.
All the leaders who speak at Awana are involved in other tasks and callings besides speaking. Thus, the scheduling of their time, the stewardship of their physical and emotional life, as well as the fit between your organization and our ministry's expertise, all go into the decision making process. Because decisions surrounding speaking outside of Awana’s headquarters involve other responsibilities, it is vitally important to have these discussions months out if possible. In some cases where denominations are gathering every four years, we must understand the timing issues regarding bringing in outside talent.
