About

Money Help For Christians (MH4C) promotes a frugal, simple, debt-free, and generous lifestyle so Christians can faithfully maximize their resources by putting them at the disposal of God’s Kingdom. MH4C is committed to providing relevant resources in order to assist Christians in this effort.

Hi, my name is Craig Ford and I write the Money Help For Christians blog.  Over the last ten years I have worked in several ministry-related positions, including youth ministry, pulpit preaching ministry, and missionary work (currently living in Papua New Guinea as a missionary).  I have attended Rochester College, York College, Abilene Christian College, and Harding University Graduate School of Religion.  I hold an AA, BA, and a Masters of Divinity degree, all in the field of Biblical Studies.

I’m in my 30’s, married with three kids, live on one income, and am debt-free (except for a small mortgage).  I guess this debt-free thing can be done by anyone.

Why I blog about Christians and Money

Living in New Guinea has made me keenly sensitive to issues related to Christians and money management.  Anyone who has lived in a third world country knows the importance of developing a theology of wealth and a theology of giving.  This helps you function in the midst of severe poverty.  So I have spent some personal time over the last few years studying, questioning, exploring, and even writing on topics related to Christians and money.”  In response to those years of study I decided to start blogging about Christians and Money.

Here’s a quick introduction to what to expect from this blog:

1. Financial teachings from a Biblical perspective

2. Daily posts on topics that impact all aspects of personal finances.  This includes practical tips for saving, earning, giving, and managing your money.

3. A behind the scenes look at our finances.  We’ll analyze the motivations, impulses, and the spiritual implications of our financial decisions.
