Helping Christian Authors on Tour (CAOT) support Christian Missions!

Since 2011, Christian Authors on Tour (CAOT) has collected in-kind donations (i.e. personal hygiene items, healthy snacks) for various Christian missions at Christian book tour stops across the country.  

As part of the 2017 Declaring the Glory of the Lord:  Christian Authors on Tour (CAOT), CAOT will ask participating authors and attendees of our literary events to sow in the following ways:
