We've been doing a series at Zolder50 about Stewardship:  a somewhat archaic word for the Christian concept which involves managing God's resources and -- by extension -- one's own personal finances.  As a part of this series, we've promised to post a few resources on our church website... only it seems that we're having some technical difficulties with adapting content on our website at the moment.  So, in the meantime (while people much more tech savvy than me work to fix the problems with the church website), I thought I would post some of the resources here on my own blog -- since a lot Zolder50 people tend to follow this site as well (and since the resources are valuable even for non-Zolder50 people!)...

So anyway... First, as promised during Theo's teaching, you can download the World's Easiest Budget here.  Or, if you would prefer, you can also download the more detailed Personal Monthly Budget here.  Both of these (excellent) tools are the work of Theo de Groot, so I cannot claim any personal credit for them -- but seeing how he's an experienced financial controller, business owner, and consultant with years and years of experience, it's probably better that way, isn't it? :-)

And secondly, if you would like to give financially to support the work of Zolder50, you can take note of the following information for electronic bank transfers:

Rekening: 628052022

Naam: Stichting GCM Netherlands

Plaats: Amsterdam

Hopefully these resources can be a great help and encouragement both to you and to the work of Zolder50 in Amsterdam.  In "tough economic times" like this, it's indeed good to remember Who's controlling all the resources...
