November 2000
As the first year of the new millennium rushes on and with Christmas
approaching soon, it is good to stop and reflect.
The price of petrol has gone through the roof, our dollar is dropping
and inflation is expected to rise.
How does this all affect us in Liberty Trust, a part of God's Kingdom?
We as trustees continually realise the sacrifice people are making to
belong to this work. It is a struggle making the dollar go round.
I am reminded of the initial vision of Liberty Trust - "to pool
our resources and pay off mortgages". Every dollar given to Liberty
Trust is now permanently in God's Kingdom, it will never go back into the
world's system. This concept of the Kingdom of God financing Christian
families, not the world, is awesome. The small beginnings back in 1988,
where will it end? - when the Lord returns!
Be encouraged, that even though times are tough and our dollars don't
seem to go as far as they used to, God will richly bless you as you continue
to help others in debt.
"Good will come to him who is generous and lends freely, who
conducts his affairs with justice" Psalm
112:5
