| Welcome
to Starfish Ministries Do you want to help families who are caught in the current economic crisis but you're not sure how? We might have the answer for you! In the current economic environment, many families in our communities are struggling to get by. I'm sure you hear of needs but are not always confident how best to help nor do you have resources to help everyone.But, there are probably two or three members of your church who would be willing to give 4- 6 hours a month to act as allies to a family, especially if the family is demonstrating a desire to make positive changes. We can help you bring that about. That's what Starfish Ministries is all about. Make a difference to those in poverty! Starfish Ministries has programs designed to help you and your church get involved in the lives of those in your community who are struggling. We come alongside you to provide training and oversight as members of your congregation provide encouragement to a struggling family in the areas of budgeting, employment, housing, education, parenting, spirituality or any other area of their lives they desire to see changed.Why does Starfish Ministries do this? Christ calls us, His followers, to help the "poor" in our midst. Most churches and church members want to help but lack understanding, confidence and a working structure. Generally, there are adequate financial and material resources in our communities to meet needs. What many in poverty lack are relationships with healthy, caring and committed people. We want to help connect caring churches with families within a structure that works. |

Testimonials
"The most significant learning I gained [through Starfish Ministries]
was
through my financial coach. We met at my house once a week for the next
several months. I learned a lot about budgeting and credit. But more
importantly, I learned about money the way God sees it."
