Hearts Repent in the Dominican Republic

Up-date on Navigating

Mission Update February 2012

Thank You!!! for all your

faithful support to Global

Freedom Concepts & our

Partners!

This month we went to the Do-minican Republic. One night we jumped in the car and drove for

two hours, away from the capital city of Santo Domingo. There we met with over 1,200 people. When Andres finished preaching on 2 Kings 4 (The Widow and the Oil), the pastor went to the front and asked if any believers wanted to con-fess sins of greed, envy, selfishness and personal disorganization -which lead to financial bondage. Over 100 people came forward.

It was a hard trip, but experiences like these make the sacrifices worth it all!

The Institute for Financial Cul-ture received a grant from Com-pass to translate Howard Day-ton’s new Financial Bible Study. Navigating will become a 12-week experience divided in two “sections,” 6-weeks each.

Last Feb 26, as we celebrated with a mega-church in the Do-minican Republic the launching of their Small Group Program, they committed to help us evaluate and contextualize our new Bible Study before sending it to the press.

Greece is discovering these days a great truth: “...the bor-rower is a slave to the lender.” They are also learning about its implications. Interesting to note that Proverbs 22:7 has been translated into Greek for more than 2,000 years!

Real Estate Investor Avoids Disaster

Up-date on the Morelia, MX

Adrian Zavala made

$100K obeying God’s

direction just in time.

Adrián Zavala (left) is a businessman who

lives in Southern California. In 2007 he

was looking to make quick money in Real

Estate. One day, Adrián found ¿Cómo

Llego a Fin de Mes? ("How do I Make It

‘Till the End of the Month?") in Wal-Mart.

The title caught his attention.

At that time he was making plans to pur-

chase a second investment property -

against his wife's advice. Patty thought

that they were already in too much debt.

Adrián and Patty read Andrés' book and realized that they were about to make a big mistake.

The Zavala's walked away from the deal, paying $5,000 in fines for doing so. The couple went even further: they placed their other investment property on the market.

They decided to love freedom more than financial opportunity and –encouraged by the book, they also started attending a Bible-believing church.

Patty and Adrian sold the property at a reduced price, but still with a profit of $100,000… just a few months later the Real Estate bubble busted!

Adrián and Paty Zavala are two very grateful readers of "How do I Make It..."

...and we are very grateful to you. Through your contributions -little or much– you enable us not only to help bring people back from financial peril, but also teach them how to avoid pitfalls in the first place.

Furthermore, you enable us to use “money” as an excuse to do the most im-portant thing: bring them to the Cross.
