As we approach September and the fall season, our kids are going back to school, college classes begin; people are starting to think toward the end of the year already! It’s no secret that we have almost blasted through yet another entire year – you can tell just by going into your local “Wal-Mart” and seeing what’s on the shelves! This has been a very exciting year at Turning Point Ministry Group (TPMG)! We have seen the ups and the downs, the happy and the challenging times, the fruitful and famine seasons, but one thing remains the same…..GOD! He NEVER changes. He is ever so faithful in guiding us in HIS ministry! Because of God’s faithfulness, we continue to reach out to your families, friends and church communities and seek to know what your needs are and how to fulfill them. One way you can help us to know, is by visiting our website, www.turningpoint.org (it’s been refreshed), see if one of the ministries offered would help to Revolutionize the Quality YOUR Life and give us a call.
Debt Free Christian recently received this from one of its clients, “Thank you again for helping us as a family to maybe see the light at the end of the tunnel. You’re a God-send! I wasn’t sure how we would get out of this financial mess we’ve created. You gave no judgment, just practical help lifting this burden of debt. Thank you, thank you.” This testimony represents another 90+ families beginning their journey out from credit card debt. Many have taken advantage of the small group ministry of Crown Financial Ministries. They make a commitment to do the right thing…pay off those credit card debts. But the time it takes! It often can take 15 or more years. When these folks discover Debt Free Christian they find that they can often do it in half the time!

Turning Point Stewardship has added six new families to its pilot program of monthly budgeting, cash tracking, and bill paying. Our aim is to relieve our client of the monthly burden of bill paying and money management. Our key distinction is that we do it for you. We sit down and listen to our clients’ financial goals, hope and dreams and then put a plan together to reach them. The difference is we make sure it happens. One of these families wanted to have the wife be a stay at home mom. At the end of a lengthy letter to us, he stated: Today, we are enjoying our current situation, which has enabled my wife stay home and raise our children while keeping the things in life I enjoy the most. I also have more money in my savings account than I ever have had. Thank you to the Lord Jesus Christ for using Tim, Rick and everyone at Turning Point Financial.

We
do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom
of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. 7 No,
we speak of God's secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God
destined for our glory before time began.
