The Didache? Uninspired and not authoritative. Also, I doubt any of us would stand by every word of it.

Does the hosting pastor offer an amount? Per service? Per hour?
If people get saved?
Does the evangelist have a set rate? Or is it based on offerings collected during the revival?

The world's greatest Evangelist was a tent maker.

Only if they can afford the retainer. What part of that is hard to understand?

They must find a way to live and sustain their families on whatever they make speaking. That includes the travel, vehicles, mobile accommodations, educational curriculum for kids, health insurance for the family, etc. It's not cheap. And the more popular an evangelist is, the more people want to book him. That boils down to a higher cost, and perhaps yes, even a retainer.

The expenses should be covered, no question.
If an Evangelist is in demand and is booked, he won't need to charge as much to be able to pay his bills and live off what he receives in offerings. There's no need for a $5K retainer + offerings if he's booked. That's just being greedy.

Yes, I get you hate Pastors. This isn't about the awful, terrible, no good, fake Pastors about whom you always complain.

Alrighty then. No need for "Sinner's in the Hands of an Angry God" when what you want is "Your Best Life Now."

I do see your point. I'm just saying that market forces make any popular speaker's time and services far more expensive. The retainer thing makes sense if they are extremely popular. Because if you book him and cancel, that's time he could have booked with others. You've now taken away from his opportunities. By charging a retainer, he locks you in because you put money behind it. He can now plan his calendar with some assurance.

Re: How do evangelists get paid?
Why are we referring to the Didache on this thread?

Because I quoted it's statements about traveling preachers and how they get paid? I dunno, that might be the reason?
Either that or you slipped into an alternate timeline?

I don’t agree with the Didache. I doubt Paul stayed only a day or 2.

It is not authoritative in the least bit.
You might as well had been quoting from, "The Shack."
