Biblical Finance Ministry

 

Just over a year ago, God burdened our hearts to provide instruction to help people be better stewards of the resources with which God has blessed them.  He showed us that there are a lot of people, both in the church and outside the church, that struggle with finances.  In addition, the bible has a lot to say about finances and the peace that can come from managing money God's way.

 

We came across the Financial Peace University course and began offering it in September 2013.  Nearly 50 families have now gone through the classes we have offered and the testimonials are powerful!  Here are a few...

 

• "Thank you so much for all of your insights and keeping my spirits up with my financial plan!  I have paid off one credit card, a small one.  But it hit me that by adding that payment to my next debt credit card...WOW! this is gonna work!!..." (Referring to the "Debt Snowball")

• "This class has provided the framework for me to set some money aside and to handle tough situations."

• "There is a way to be debt free!"

• "During the 9 weeks, I realized I am not alone and that there is hope."

• "The best part of the class was being able to learn about money without being judged or chastised."

• "I wish I could have had this teaching at least 40 years ago!"

• "The best part of the class was working together as a couple and having complete awareness of our financial situation."

• "This class has been a life changer!  Thank you for being used of God and blessing us by your faithfulness in teaching it!"

• "My wife and I are doing ok managing money so we thought we didn't need you or this class...but we were WRONG!"

 

What results have been achieved?

The overall financial impact of the course is measured over the 9 weeks of class.  The following results are from the 9 weeks of the first 3 classes as reported by the class members (45 families):

 

Financial turnaround during the class...

91 Credit cards were cut up

$79,095 in non-mortgage debt was paid off

$39,634 in money was saved

 

This equates to a financial turnaround of $118,729 during the 9 weeks of class or an average of $2,638 per family!  The financial turnaround for your family may be more or less than the average, but compared to the cost of course materials (less than $100) this is a bargain!
