Americans carry trillions of dollars in consumer debt. The average household’s credit card debt is more than $8,000, up almost 15 percent from the year 2000. This workshop explains the causes of debt and the role community-based ministries can play in initiating frank, biblical discussions about money. Participants learn practical strategies for helping people build assets rather than debt by partnering with community credit unions, launching grassroots savings programs, addressing predatory lending institutions, and more.
