God's way of managing money
People must been hungry or was it the allure of Thai food that brought everyone at the door right on the dot on Sunday? It was an unusual sight to see people waiting at the door of an Ignite event. The food was a little late, but the great taste more than made up for it.
It was a great time of fellowship over lunch too and we had to squeeze to fit everyone in. Then someone suggested introducing ourselves before getting into the talk. And so we did with some interesting detour.
Our speaker Denis worked in one of the big banks for 15 years and has been in the mortgage business for the last 7 years. He showed us a video from Crown ministry stating how important it is to manage our money from God's perspective.
Do you know that there are 2,350 verses in the Bible dealing with financial matters? Well, most of us didn't know that before the seminar.
We all had a chance to think about our life purpose and jot down some goals to help achieve that. Then the 5 basic principles and a sample budget sheet to help us work towards handling money God's way. And a lively discussion followed.
We all learnt something from it and hopefully all put into practice what we've learnt. This seminar is only the introduction of what is a 10-week course. If people are keen to have Denis come back for another session, let us know and we'll organise something.
