Biblical Financial Study by Crown Financial Ministries
Some of the Puchong graduates with
Facilitator, Pat Toh
The purpose of the Crown study is
to teach people God’s financial principles in order to know Christ more
intimately and to be free to serve Him. Participants are required to
spend 15
minutes a day reading and doing homework, memorize relevant scriptures,
complete a practical financial exercise and pray.
On July 12, 2007 a
group of CBC Puchong members started
weekly to study God’s financial principles. We achieved almost 100%
attendance
by all with the exception of one student, who had to return to his
studies
overseas. The course was completed on September 14, and the group
celebrated
their graduation dinner on September
16, 2007. Here are the testimonies of those who
graduated:- The Crown
Biblical Financial
Study succeeded in translating life wisdom based on the very words
found in the
Bible to be very pragmatic steps in managing finance as well as life
expectations. I would not hesitate to recommend it to just about
everyone as it
would change the way they view money management as well as life.

The course
teaches us to
handle our finances, assets and improve the quality of life, and live
God’s
purposes during our journey in this world in preparation for Heaven.
Lulu Ng
It helped
organize my thoughts
about finances, encouraged me about saving and investing as well as
taught me
some new truths which have been of practical help.
Chew Juliane
Our God is such
a good God. He
takes care of everything especially our finances. I really learnt a lot
on how
to be a good steward of the finances He has provided me, and to be
completely
honest in even the smallest matters. Thank you, Lord.
Josephine Chua
From this
course, I learnt how
to manage our finance, debt, budgets to God’s way and not to our way. I
believe
if we follow God’s way in managing our money, definitely we will not go
the
wrong way. This course is very beneficial to me

In SEAParkCenter, another group, led by Sister Jen Leong, also competed
they studies. Here is a
testimony from one of the participants:- Thank you,
sister Jen, for facilitating the
course. I’ve always wanted to learn about finance but not the way the
world
teaches. It is good that CBC has this small group studies on Biblical
Finance.
I’ve learnt to handle finance with God’s principles, and now to budget
and
save. At the beginning of the course, I was stingy with my money. I
asked God
why? Knowledge can either bind or free you. What a revelation. I began
to see
things in God’s perspective now….because, EVERYTHING belongs to God!
