Dear Pastor or Coordinator,
The following is a list of items and information to answer questions as well as to help facilitate the revival/crusade. Many of the following are negotiable. Mercy Seat Ministries desires to serve, and we are honored to join with you in prayer for a mighty move of God. We will be ready in every way.

Thank you so much for trusting us.Please call if you have any questions at all. My assistant will be happy to help you. I am also available at all times to you.

God Bless,
Patrick H. Schatzline

(The following is not a contract, but merely a helpful guideline for the upcoming time of ministry.)

Facilitating Travel:

• Please reserve one hotel room, nonsmoking. If your church provides food for Pastor Pat’s room, he asks that it be fruit, water, and low-fat items. This is merely a suggestion if this practice is used.
  
• If traveling by plane, please let us know who will be picking Pastor up at the airport. (A brief description, etc…) The person should hold up a place card in the baggage claim area. This helps to avoid confusion.
  
• Pastor Pat always travels with an assistant for integrity purposes. In order to accommodate this we request that the church cover his assistant’s travel expenses including housing and meals. Pastor’s assistant can stay in a home provided, but he does not share a room with Pastor.
  
• Pastor Pat does not eat before the service/event as it interferes with preparation and prayer time. However, he would enjoy fellowship after service at a local restaurant.
  
• Mercy Seat Ministries requests that an entire schedule of the events be faxed to our office for proper preparation from MSM office.
  
• Provision of transportation, whether rental or church vehicle, is requested during Pastor’s time with you. (Void if driving to crusade with personal vehicle.)
  
• We may need (1) extra room, adjoining, if Pastor brings his wife and children.
  
• Mercy Seat Ministries travels with student interns from The Forerunner School of Ministry with Pastor Pat to events. The interns assist in the illustration of sermons and serve as needed by Pastor Pat. Mercy Seat Ministries covers all travel expenses for our interns to the church/ event. We will usually bring 5-8 students who will stay in homes or a hotel. We will call before the event to be sure of all details. The interns from The Forerunner School of Ministry are great warriors that spur passion for Jesus and they will be a blessing to all.
  
• Please inform us if it is possible to use approximately 15 youth/ young adults volunteers from your church congregation to perform with our Forerunner interns as part of Pastor’s illustrated sermons. Our students/interns will train prior to services.

Facilitating the Services:

• Please provide one table in the foyer for CD’s,DVD’s and books. Please provide someone to work the ministry table before and after each service (unless staff are traveling with Pastor).
  
• It is very important thatPastor Pat be made aware of the schedule for the service/event (s). He always wants to be time courteous if the need is there.
  
• Please provide a prayer team & altar workers to meet withPastor and the team 15 minutes prior to the service. This helps in moving into a powerful move of the Spirit. These people should be trained leaders (please have name badges if possible.)
  
• If possible, please provide a hand held microphone and water during the service.
  
• Many times Pastor Pat and his team use videos, PowerPoint, and live drama presentations to express certain points in a message. If at all possible, please have a video projector, DVD player and CD player for use during the service/event.

Financial Information and Obligation:
Mercy Seat Ministries, Inc. is a 501c3 corporation. We operate completely as a Faith Based Ministry.

• Mercy Seat Ministries respectfully requests that love offerings be taken in all services unless this is an honorarium or district event. We ask that the offerings/ honorarium be given to Pastor Schatzline immediately before his departure. If this is not possible, please overnight it the next day to Pastor Schatzline at 6401 Old Springville Road Suite 105, Pinson, AL 35126.
  
• Please make all checks out to: Mercy Seat Ministries, Inc.
  
• We ask that a separate check for travel reimbursement be issued to help with our accounting. You will receive all travel information at least three weeks prior to arrival. All travel and hotel accommodations are the responsibility of host church. The reimbursement check should be mailed as soon as possible in order to meet the needs of our accounting dept.
  
• If this is an honorarium event please let us know in advance what the honorarium set aside will be. Pastor Pat believes in using wisdom, respect, and honor in all situations concerning finances.

Casting the Vision:
Mercy Seat Ministries touches lives around the world. The following are ministries and projects that MSM and Pastor Pat are involved in and support. Pastor would like an opportunity to share for 3-5 minutes before the offering is taken on at least one or more occasions. The Sr. Pastor or leader can deem the appropriate time. During this time Pastor Pat would like to share about projects Mercy Seat Ministries is involved with at this time. They are very dear to our heart.

The Forerunner School of Ministry-This is the school that Mercy Seat Ministries facilitates for the training of young men and women who answer the call into full time ministry. Our vision for FSM is to raise up this generation of leaders and ministers.

Overseas Ministry - It is our passion to take the Gospel to all corners of the World. Mercy Seat Ministries, Inc. & The Forerunner School of Ministry is heavily involved in casting the vision with international missions. We currently have open doors in countries such as Australia, Germany, El Salvador, Singapore and Venezuela.
