Guest Post: 5 Reasons To Start A Debt Ministry - Part ONE
Part One: People Are Hurting
Job losses, pay cuts, and massive home price deflation has been felt across the nation. Those who have had 401(k)'s have seen them reduced to 201(k)'s. People are hurting. Statistics show that over 70 percent of Americans live paycheck-to-paycheck. From surveys conducted in the Financial Learning Experiences our team teaches, we have learned that 24 percent are already behind on at least one bill.
We are called to help the hurting and broken. A debt ministry will help equip people with biblical principles and practical tools so that they can gain traction in their financial journey and honor Him with 100 percent of their money! It is a practical way that church leaders can serve their church and community.
People are hurting. They are asking questions. The Bible has the answers.
The I Was Broke. Now I'm Not. team is passionate about helping others accomplish far more than they ever thought possible. We provide full personal finance ministry solutions including development of money messages, speaking on Sundays, teaching live personal finance workshops (2-hour Financial Learning Experience; 6-hour Financial Freedom Experience), and training financial counselors on-site (Financial Counseling Experience). We also provide books and group studies, including Joe's book, I Was Broke. Now I'm Not. and its related six-week group study. For more information, contact their team HERE.
