The Hurn family, Wellington.
Our
family joined Liberty Trust more than a decade ago because we loved the idea
of sharing our resources to help others, and ourselves, become debt free.
At the beginning of 2009 we made it a specific focus to reduce our
debt. My husband & I were both
working and doing all we could but, in spite of our best effort, we were not
making much of a dent in our large mortgage.
As the year progressed it seemed right
for me to plan to leave my paid job and commit more time to study, prayer and
preaching. However, my income was
being used to make extra payments on the mortgage and so we committed this to
the Lord for a solution. Not long
after, a letter from Liberty Trust arrived and I knew immediately what it said
before I opened it! Our current
mortgage is larger than the loan from Liberty Trust but we were able to split
the loan with 60% interest free from the trust and 40% from the bank (with
interest!).
This has been a huge saving in
interest costs already and has meant that I have been able to make the move
into unpaid ‘Kingdom’ work instead of using my time to work just to pay
the bank interest costs. The scripture says “But
seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be
given to you as well” (Matt 6:33) and this has certainly proved true
many times over in our experience. We
hope that it will be true in your experience as well.
Our sincere thanks to the Trustees at
Liberty Trust and Ark Resources and to all who make the monthly contributions
that have helped to set us free!
