We
were given a brochure about Liberty Trust from a friend in Tauranga. Reading
about Kingdom principles and sowing into Adonai's (Lord) Kingdom for the future
made sense. Soon after we started contributing to Liberty Trust.
We wanted to buy a house for our growing family. Although mortgage rates dropped
to 4% we knew that they would climb again. We could foresee the benefit of not
having to pay interest and paying off a mortgage quicker to help those around us
in need. The realization that our mortgage could be paid off far faster than
with a bank brought joy to our hearts that we could not only read the Truth in
the Bible but be given an opportunity to walk in obedience to what we were
reading.
Stephanie had two sons when I married her and we have since had three more
children. Raising a large family can be very costly even without the expense of
a mortgage . We have seen Adonai's faithful provision on many occasion, whether
it be food, clothing, and now an interest free mortgage. Having an interest free
mortgage means we are able to plan our financial future with more certainty.
As a family we are deeply involved in the Jewish community. We participate in
the Messianic Fellowship which meets in our home. As a family we observe the
Lord's festivals. Hosea 9:5 "What will you do on the day of your appointed
feasts, on the festival days of the Lord?" (NIV) We wish to encourage you
that they are not specifically Jewish festivals but His festivals, and when
celebrated in a Jewish way bring more depth and meaning.
We wish to bless and encourage you all as you continue your walks of obedience.
Numbers 6:24-26
May Adonai (Lord) bless you and keep you
May Adonai make His face shine on you and show you His favour.
May Adonai lift up His face toward you and give you Shalom. (Complete Jewish
Bible)
As we have walked in obedience to His call Adonai has made His face shine upon
us and shown us His favour.
