Testimony Tuesday – Stewardship Changes Lives in Madagascar

God’s financial principles work everywhere! 

I’ve made multiple trips to Madagascar over the past few years where millions live in poverty. 98% of the 30 million people earn $200 a month or less. One young woman struggled with financial management and was totally dependent on her parents. After attending a 5-day training course with Crown’s Partner – PPC Madagascar, things began to change. Shortly after completing the training, she was recruited to be an assistant trainer. Professionally, she’s gaining experience. Financially, she has a steady income. She helps her parents provide for her siblings, and she’s beginning to realize some of her own entrepreneurship dreams. Her perspective on giving also changed, thanks to a seminar that Crown did called The Bible and Money. She budgets with the envelope system and deducts a tithe from her income at the beginning of each month.

A budget can change your life as well. You don’t have to wait to implement one until you begin to suffer pain. Try one this year! It’s a simple tool that will work for you. It’s flexible and helps you be faithful with whatever God provides. It eliminates the fear and anxiety of wondering if your bills can be paid. It can break the bonds of slavery to money and debt.

A budget only takes a few hours to prepare, but the benefits are countless. As Solomon said in Proverbs 21:5, “The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance.” Join brothers and sisters around the world in using a budget starting now, and like those in Madagascar, may you find freedom from financial slavery!
