SCHEDULING
We will work with you on scheduling a date for your Disciple-Making Boot Camp that best fits in your ministry calendar. We have found that a Saturday morning or a Sunday afternoon training time works best for most people.
Disciple Maker's Boot Camp Agenda for a Saturday Morning | 8:30 AM – 12:30 PM (Option 2: 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM)
Disciple Maker's Boot Camp Agenda for a Sunday Afternoon | 3:00 – 7:00 PM (Option 2: 2:00 – 6:00 PM)
Once you decide which day of the week is best, email us three potential dates for your boot camp in order of preference. We will work from there to nail down the date.

PREPARATION
Once a date is determined for your boot camp, your trainer will send you a “D-Life Training Confirmation & Preparation” email. This email will contain a detailed “checklist” with instructions on how to prepare for your boot camp, including: promotion, room set up, food and snack recommendations, printing the materials, setting up the PowerPoint, and etc.
Prior to the boot camp, you will need to sign up for D-Life Online by going to: www.livethedlife.com/store. This will give you access to all of our leadership training resources.

costs
Other than the expenses related to registering for D-Life Online, food & snack preparations, and printing your materials, additional costs include:
- Your trainer’s travel expenses, including roundtrip mileage reimbursement (IRS rate) or costs for airfare.
- If overnight stay is required, a $220 per diem is requested for each night’s lodging to cover hotel costs, parking fees, travel meals, and etc. D-Life trainers will be responsible to make their own lodging accommodations.
- In addition, an honorarium in the range of $500 is recommended by our D-Life publisher (Iron Stream Media) to be given to your trainer at the close of the four-hour training.
- For tax accounting purposes, please have two separate checks made out to your trainer on the day of your boot camp. The first check should be for the travel and lodging expenses and a second check for the honorarium.
- To help cover the expenses for your boot camp, you may charge participants a registration fee. If you choose to do so, the amount of the registration fee and method of collection is at your discretion.
