Testimony Tuesday – Meeting A Long-Term Goal Via Crown

Are you laying up treasures in Heaven? 

Back in 1994, a neighbor invited a couple to attend an introductory meeting of Crown that was being held at their church. If they signed up, they’d meet in the neighbor’s home for 12 weeks to learn and implement Biblical principles of finance. Well, they eagerly joined and looked forward to the course. Initially, the weekly Scripture memorization was a bit intimidating. The longest verse, 1 Chronicles 29:11-12 became her husband’s life verse.

When the study came to an end, they were asked to write a long-term financial goal. Reminded that God can work outside our frame of reference, they set their goal of paying off their home by 2005. With 11 years to work on that goal, they established the habit of making extra principal payments each month. Most months it was just a few dollars; other times, several hundred. They were faithful and God indeed worked outside their frame of reference. Only five years after taking that first step, they met their goal.

The wife wrote to use and said, “God’s principles, taught through Crown, transformed our lives. My husband facilitated Crown classes for 20 years in the Phoenix area. God blessed us with 3 sons and a daughter. They all were instructed in Crown teachings. Each one graduated college debt-free and began their marriages the same way. We encourage each one who hears this to live by Roman 13:8: ‘Owe no man anything, but to love one another…’
