We have been following your ministry since Larry Burkett and have taken several of the studies. We've been out of debt, except for our mortgage, for a long time.

I was laid off my job after 33 years and was able to use some of my severance package to pay off the house, so now we are debt free. Praise the Lord. Thank you for your ministry.

Years ago, Crown's principles helped me leave my job to be a stay-at-home mom. This summer my mother-in-law told me she thought I would have fewer music students because the economy was bad. I said and believed that God would provide as many as He (not me) thought I needed.

Each day on the way to school, my 6-year-old daughter would pray for me, and when I picked her up at school each afternoon, we thanked God together for the students added that day. It was a testimony to all my family whenver they asked how many students I had. "God has given me five more today," I could answer.

In the process, I learned about obedience. Once I was leaving early for a demo class, and the Lord compelled me to go back home because I hadn't prayed. Another day I was instructed to stop making in-sight promotions to try to get more students. He was teaching me to be content with what He had already given me.

When I would count how many students I had at the end, I heard God say, "Numbers cannot reflect the magnitude of the blessings I've poured over you." Surprisingly I had as many students as last semester, and even during the last weeks, new students enrolled.

While watching a TBN "Praise the Lord" show, I saw a clip of the film, Abraham and Isaac [from the God Provides™ Film Learning Experience]. When Isaac was laid on the rocks, and the knife was raised, God appeared. Immediately tears hit me, and still are as I type this.

My family and I are going through a situation that I have been struggling with, that the Lord brought to light as soon as the sun in the movie came out. I have been awaiting direction from the Holy Spirit for 2 years, and now I know. I love and appreciate how the organization is serving the Lord. Be Blessed.

My husband and I began the Crown small group study and then quit after the second week because of the distance we had to travel to the class. We felt that, since we were living off unemployment and were so far into debt, it was useless to take a course that involved money management. We didn't have any left to manage.

Then a supernatural experience happened. We got a call from the bank that held the mortgage on our home. The lady at the other end of the phone wanted to know how they could help us catch up with the past due payments. My response was that it would take a miracle. She wanted to go through my "budget." If she had called before I went to the first two Crown classes, I wouldn't have had one, but because I did, we engaged in a conversation that led to the miracle I needed. She presented a solution that involved a significant reduction in our payments for a year AND the bank forgave our outstanding debt...just like Jesus did for our sins on the cross...wiped it away. If that wasn't enough, the final instruction she gave me was to "finish" the Crown class.

My husband and I remembered the first verse we memorized from Luke 16:11 and realized our finances would not be restored until we learned the basic principles of managing God's money as His stewards. We just finished the class, and money is showing up unexpectedly at just the right moments for just the right needs. Amazing. We are so excited.

I have decided to start a women's group to share our testimony and have purchased the new film series, God Provides™, because it is true. God really does provide if we are obedient and willing.

Thank you for the opportunity to share in the Crown study with other believers without feeling like a total failure for making unwise decisions in the past. Thank you for providing the learning tools that I can continue to reference with budget templates, etc., and thank you for being dedicated to helping people like me be able to help others with your new film series, God Provides™. I will let you know how it is received after our first meeting in February.

I am so glad I heard about this ministry, and it has helped my husband and me with our finances. Our tithes, offering, giving, and saving has been a struggle. I believe that what I hear on your radio program with Chuck Bentley has helped me a lot.

I think that if our Hmong community could learn more about using our money God's way through Crown's ministry, it will have a big impact in the Twin Cities.

I myself want to learn more about giving and having enough money to last through the end of the week, so that my husband and I can work together to do what God wants us to do with the money He has blessed us with. We have just been through a bankruptcy, just moved to a new place, and many more things. I just want to be debt free and stress free. I want to be on the same page with God and my husband. I know there is a way.

I pray that this year will be a great year and am looking forward to the Crown class in my local area, where I hope my husband and I can learn together.

Thanks again for all that you do on the radio.

God Bless you in all the works that you do.

My wife and I originally took the Crown Small Group Financial Study in September 2006. Because I knew I needed to be held accountable to the information, I have chosen to stay involved and have facilitated 5 other life group studies.

God is working in my life mightily as a work to become more obediant. We have slowly but surely made progress and consistently completed Destinations 1 and 2 [of the Crown Money Map™], and have a plan to complete Destination 3 in 4.5 years. Thank you for your efforts.

I am recently married, and my spouse and I are 23 years old. My wife has an associates degree, and I have completed two bachelors degrees. We are completely debt free and are saving for retirement and our future house.

I have been listening to Crown since I was in high school, and the Biblical principles that you teach have positively impacted my financial stewardship. I am proud to support Crown every month because I know myself and thousands of others are making solid financial decisions because of your dedication to God's calling.

Thank you so much for all that you do, and may God give you direction and creativity as you strive to reach everyone in the world with God's financial stewardship principles.
