My mission is to help you clear your debts
The inspiration
A number of years ago while I
was serving as deacon, a church member approached me to
inquire about helping a widow in the church. She requested on
behalf of this widow that church funds designated for
benevolent giving be used to repair her dilapidated roof. I
checked out this roof myself and it looked like it could fall
apart at any moment. This widow had already found a contractor
willing to make the entire repair for only $1,000 but she did
not have the funds and the church denied the request because
it was considered a non-essential item.
I
decided at that moment to go ahead and lend to this widow. I
paid the contractor directly and my terms with the widow were
simple. There would be no interest charged and she could pay me
back when she could afford to pay me, as long as she paid me
something every month. She satisfied her debt to me completely
within five months.
I
knew that she was facing other debts and desperately wanted to
pay them completely off. I told her I would offer her a low
interest loan so that she could work those debts off faster and
that, as long as she was current with me, I would continue to
lend to her until she was completely debt free. She took three days
to pray about this and then turned me down! The reason she
declined my offer was because she wanted to experience the
struggle of getting out of debt on her own so that she always
remembered what it took to get out so that she would never be
tempted to jump into debt again.
This response impressed me and I
definitely let her know that her response made me want to
help her that much more and that if she ever changed her
mind, she knew where to find me! This sparked an
insatiable passion in me to find others who are worthy of
this type of financial help and willing to accept it.
The idea behind my passion is to
enable godly people through the simple and perhaps
old-fashioned process of using their own free cash flows
to clear their debts and I am willing to get them started
on this path. If you are reading this then, most likely,
you are already on my approved lending list.
