Guest Post: 5 Reasons To Start A Debt Ministry - Part FOUR
Part Four: Schools Are Not Teaching It
It is a fact that most schools are not teaching people how to manage money. They focus primarily on teaching people skills and knowledge that they can use to earn money. We can complain about this lack of teaching, or we can start teaching it ourselves.
Since we have the Word, we have the best personal finance guidebook ever written. We need to teach it. It is not just a money issue. It is a spiritual issue.
In order to fund the vision, we need to teach practical personal finance skills so that we can honor God with 100 percent of our money. It is important for us to teach tithing, but it is just as important that training is provided for managing the other 90 percent. God owns it all! We need to teach budgeting, how to become debt free, investing, insurance, the importance of a plan, giving, sacrificial giving, prayer-filled decision-making, and the importance of couples working together to communicate about their money management.
People are desperate for financial help. A debt ministry will help people walk into freedom.
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.
