Eric & Gaye Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are the financial requirements to have Eric & Gaye Ramsey in our church?
A: We appreciate and share your concerns in this matter. The Tom Cox World Ministries financial policy is listed below:

  • TCWM will serve any size church.
  • TCWM accepts opportunities to serve on a first come, first served basis as the Lord gives direction.
  • Tom Cox World Ministries is a 501c3 tax exempt, non-profit organization. The evangelists serve by faith on a love offering basis. Because financial support is necessary for sustaining the on-going ministries, we ask the pastor to communicate the opportunities to give. Knowing that pastors are spiritual leaders, we believe if the people are aware of the needs and opportunities they will give as God leads them.
  • TCWM requests that a love offering be received in every service in support of the ministry.
  • TCWM requests that the church provide*:
    • Travel expenses (fifty-eight cents per mile** one way from the church previously served)
    • Lodging (fifty dollars per night for RV use, or hotel arrangements provided)
    • Meals (except breakfast)
    • Expenses are to be over and above the love offering. Travel expenses and lodging should be paid upon arrival, if possible.

*This is negotiable.
**Based on US federal standard — may vary with fuel prices.
