Frank Darcy was the pastor of one of our
founding churches, the Whakatane Baptist Church, when Liberty Trust began in
1989. Frank wrote this endorcement in July 1999 to celebrate our 10th birthday:
When
several people shared the concept and vision of Liberty Trust with me over ten
years ago, it affirmed what God had been speaking to me for some time.
Scriptures such as “there was not a
needy one among them”. Thoughts like “Christians are to be good stewards of
God’s resources”. Sermons that advised Christians to get out of debt. Clear
Scriptures about lending to brothers without interest, debt putting us in a
master/ slave relationship, and the hallmark of God’s Kingdom being freedom.
How could I help others if I myself were a slave to debt?
In Liberty Trust I found the answer I had
been looking for. It is now evident from many testimonies, including our own,
that God has used Liberty Trust to release many from debt.
I thank God for those who have had the
courage and persistence to implement and continue the original vision.
The vision to help others has its
rewards. As we have contributed to Liberty Trust, we ourselves were blessed when
we received a ballot. “Give and it shall be given to you” this promise came
true for us.
I have been disappointed in some
Christians who have not been able to understand the concepts of Liberty Trust
because they have been used to seeing profit as the chief motivation for
investment. But Liberty Trust holds to service to God and others as the chief
motivation. The Kingdom of God principles are working to confound the
worldly-wise.
As we look to the future, I believe God
will continue to set many more people free through Liberty Trust.
Yours in Christ
