Feel Comfortable About Managing Your Debt
Many Christians feel uncomfortable with the notion of being in debt and even more so when the debt
has gotten out of control. Some say that it is not acceptable for Christians to owe any money,

need to help you stay out of debt. All of this is done in a way that is consistent with Christian
beliefs and the teachings of the Bible.

obligations in good faith. Creditors are more willing to extend favorable terms to such clients in
the hope that they (the creditor) will avoid the significant expense of turning the account over to
a collections firm or avoid an extended drawn out process if the account holder goes through the
expense of declaring bankruptcy.

experience working with creditors to ease the burden of repayment. They can help you renegotiate
loans, reshape payment schedules, reduce your interest rate or obtain a loan that consolidates your
debt. Many of these firms are nonprofit; they are in the business strictly so that they can help
fellow Christians to get back on their feet and free from the burden of unusually heavy debt.
If this sounds like something that suits your personal needs, you should consider contacting a
Christian debt consolidation or credit counseling agency, such as:
