Equipping Leaders To Minister
Most churches have some type of benevolence program (Food Pantry) without any accountability or follow-up protocol. Our program allows the person in need to evaluate his/her financial situation, find the root cause of his/her crisis situation, and advise how to attain financial accountability with regards to his/her specific monetary dilemma. This program guides each “client” to develop an individualized plan of action that mirrors Godly stewardship. Then the church can finally dispense some financial assistance that addresses their immediate need.

TESTIMONIALS
IT WORKS!
One of the areas Debt Free in Christ has helped our family has been by teaching our children to pursue their college years at the least possible expense or as debt-free as possible. Both our sons wanted to be part of the process of finding a financial solution to help pay their college tuition. Noé, our eldest, started off with an academic partial scholarship and worked to help pay for his schooling. Now, he has secured a full ride for the next 3 years with a ROTC scholarship. We are super proud of all his efforts to make this scholarship a reality. He maintained his grades, participated in intense physical regiments and exercises to pass the physical exams, and demonstrated commitment and leadership. He was an active participant in making sure his scholarship came to a reality.
Now, Emanuel is pursuing his next college steps. He has made very strategic choices in high school including maintaining his GPA, becoming a National Honor Society member, doing AP coursework, and applying for scholarships. He has also invested in his sports abilities, practicing and competing, so that his scholarship can include both academic and fencing scholarships. Again, he is an active participant in ensuring he has opportunities to fund his college education next year without much debt.
Being an active participant in using money in God's way has been a wonderful experience for our boys. Thank you, DFIC, for good stewardship instruction.

My wife and I sought financial advice from Pastor José Zambrana when he lived in PA. Though he moved to TX, he continued giving us financial guidance. José always had our best interest at heart to succeed with our finances. He was willing to discuss new ideas and never forced us to make decisions. He offered kind words of encouragement. We connected mostly through texts. Once in a while I would call; he had a calming voice that was always willing to give me solid advice. José would also check in with me to see how our goals were coming along. We were always only a text away for answers to our questions. We may have a long way to go, but we will always be thankful for José’s support as we continue on our road to financial freedom. My wife and I have also become Ministry partners; we want to spur José to continue this vital financial teaching to other folks as well. Thanks, José

Once upon a time, there lived a couple that owed over $40,000 in debt and now they are Home Owners, living the Debt-Free life! But let’s start at the beginning.
We resided in The Bronx -- a time we called B.K.C. (Before Knowing Christ). Our main debt was lots and lots of credit cards, all maxed out. Then came a messenger from GOD -- aka, Jose Zambrana, who taught us the benefits of being debt free. So, every weekend, we traveled to Warwick, New York, an Upstate suburb, to learn the steps in reaching the goal of being debt
free. By working VERY hard, God allowed us to reach that target.
Fast forward 8 years -- we continue being blessed and happy, living that debt-free life in our mortgage-free home in sunny Florida. Praise God! The End.
