Events It is the heart and desire of Behold to see God revealed and lifted up through professionalism and humility. Steve can perform anything up to two hours in one performance and can offer Sunday morning and or evening church services, Celebrations, Conferences, Youth gatherings, Missions, Schools, Outreaches, Alpha courses, Workshops, Prisons and anything else you feel God can be glorified through his ministry.
Fees Behold is a faith based ministry and so has no set fee structure. However it is Steve’s full time ministry and so there is an expectation for travel expenses and a ministry gift to enable Steve to minister whilst providing for his family. This is Steve’s only source of income. As a rough guide an average gift to Steve would be 200 GBP plus travel expenses for a day or evening booking and 400 GBP for a whole weekend. If the booking covers several days i.e. a mission or conference then we suggest 150 GBP per day plus expense. The bottom line is most churches understand living by faith and give generously. The above figures are based on average gifts and are not demands but purely to help churches or events that are not familiar with itinerant ministry.
Cancellation Fees It has become more common that bookings have been canceled leaving it too late for Steve to get rebooked, therefore please note the optional cancellation fee. If a booking has to be canceled more than two months before the event then a fee of 50 GBP would be suggested. If the cancelation is less than two months or sixty days then a fee of 100 GBP for the first day and 50 GBP for each remaining day (for example 200 GBP for three days canceled) would be suggested. To enforce such fees would go against the ethos of faith ministry and so it is important to point out that this is for churches that want to pay such fees as a good will
Technical and Performance area Steve performs to backing tracks in CD, Mini Disc or MP3 format which he will bring to each booking. Steve will not provide a CD player but does provide Mini Disc and MP3 players. Each venue must have a P.A. System with amplified sound to plug his equipment into. Please ensure you have the necessary sound system that will produce loud and clear sound for the venue. The performance area will always bring better results if raised. Mime is a full body art-form and so if only the waist up can be seen because of low elevation, then half the impact will be lost. Steve works on all levels including lying down. If no raised staging is available then careful consideration of seating would be essential. Also for best results Steve needs a flat working area of 4 meters wide by 3 meters deep. Steve can work on smaller areas but will be limited to what mimes he can perform. Please also consider if Steve is sharing an evening with a worship band, then adequate space must be provided.
Make up The photographs on this site does not visually reflect the performance. Behold is regarded as a non white face mime ministry. This is because of the high level of people with fears of masks, clowns and white face, Steve took the decision to stop putting on the white face. It is not necessary to use a white face and in fact Steve has found it more beneficial not to put on the make up because this enables him to talk and share his testimony in between the mimes. Please speak to Steve if you feel White face would be your strong preference.
