| 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 your community 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 give some of their time to help families who are demonstrating a desire to make positive changes. That's what Starfish Ministries is all about. Make a difference to those in poverty! Starfish Ministries has designed approaches 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. The families has worked with Starfish Ministries staff to identify the areas of their lives they want to change such as finances, employment, housing, education, parenting, and spirituality.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 those needs. What many in poverty lack are relationships with healthy, caring and committed people. We connect caring churches with families within a structures that work. |

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."
