Approx ten years ago at the Church I attended in Nelson we had a visit from a couple from Liberty Trust who were traveling around letting people know of the possibility of interest free loans.  This really appealed to me and as I thought and prayed about it the more I really thought this could be possible for me.  One of the things about it which appealed to me was the fact that when I would be contributing for those years I would not only be helping myself towards an interest free loan, I would be helping those in the future.  Being a blessing to help others is an amazing thing to do.  

At that stage I was a single parent with 3 school age children and only working part time and so continuing to make those contributions was a real commitment.  I had bought my home just 3 years before with a deposit from my mother’s estate.  When I had bought my home of course, the bank’s terms were a 25-year mortgage and that seemed such a long time to be paying but then that seemed to be the only way to get it.  Prior to buying this home  - I went through some tough years including my marriage break-up and my mothers death - having my faith was the main thing that pulled me through.  God is in control, He knows our situations and our individual needs ' For I know that plans I have for you' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future'.  Jer 29:11

Now I only have my oldest son Gareth [26] at home with his son Ryan [5] part of the time. My other son Scott [24] is living in Perth and my daughter Rachel [21] is working in USA.

I would like to thanks all those who put their time into helping with Liberty Trust as it is such a blessing and also to those who were the first contributors who have helped pave the way for me being able to benefit now.  

In December last year when I received my loan from Liberty Trust it was a great feeling to know that I will not be paying interest for the next seven years and after that will be loan/mortgage free.  Thank you Lord and Liberty Trust.
