Hope for Today, Freedom for Tomorrow! Our mission is to empower you to effectively manage financial resources through teaching, coaching, planning and accountability thus maximizing the purpose for which you were created. Once you know where you are going, your financial fitness coach will walk along side you, step by step, providing encouragement, planning, strategies, guidance and course correction as needed.Together you will establish a framework for financial fitness, for LIFE! “The one fundamental revelation, right at the onset of the journey, was that we needed to stop tracking our spending “after the fact” and instead, direct our money to where we wanted it to be spent. In other words, saving and spending were to become intentional actions instead of reactionary or impulsive…. It is here that I must testify that transformational results have been exponential and thus impossible to record. What I can say is that after 2-1/2 years of intentional saving and spending, I have come to enjoy the realm of finances.” – Jack & Cristina, Ontario Fee Based Services Include:

Debt Freedom Centres will be operated by local Christian communities and are flexible in their approach and service, reflecting the communities they serve, small or large, providing practical help and ongoing support towards debt free living.

Serving the Poor, Saving The Lost Christians Against Poverty (CAP), which is helping thousands of people out of personal debt in the UK, Australia and New Zealand, recently launched in Canada. CAP opened their Canadian office in March 2013 in response to numerous Canadian church leaders who have seen the need for debt counselling in their cities. Since launching, we have partnered with over 90 churches to bring our financial education and debt counselling to local communities. ‘Christians Against Poverty does a brilliant job of coming alongside us as a church to help both people in our church and people in our community develop workable budgets and address long accumulated debt. This is a ministry that knows how to help in this most important area. They do so with humility and skill. I recommend them to any church that wants to address some of the real pressures of living in the 21st Century.’ Need help with your debt?
