We
were delighted to receive the news of our Liberty loan becoming
available towards the end of last year. We had begun contributions
towards this just over eight years ago and had received a helping hand
by the kind donation by one of the other Liberty contributors – who
happened to be our midwife when our son Hamish was born - of her
contributions. This hastened our loan which was at that time for a small
unit I had in Epsom. Since we never increased the amount of the loan
even after we had sold this unit and, with the help of a family
inheritance bought our home two years ago in Hillsborough, when our loan
came through it was almost exactly half of our total mortgage. It is
amazing to see the principal reducing so quickly and to know that at
least half of our mortgage on our home will be reduced within just seven
years. Now we are praying that we could continue to make contributions
for a second membership so that all of our mortgage might become
interest free. The financial pressures
which we all seem to face are often a way of driving us to our knees
before God so that we can see Him move in ways impossible to predict.
Liberty Trust has been a vital cog in the wheel for us in our goal to
become free enough financially to be able to travel and minister the
gospel, especially in Pushpa’s home country of Sikkim where there are so
many wonderful things happening in the churches there. We are very
grateful to God for the faithful people who enable Liberty Trust to be
an oasis of freedom in a very trying financial environment. Guy, Pushpa and Hamish Steward 16 September 2008 |
