			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the last year, our church community has started a venture called The Money Clinic.&#160; It isn&#8217;t a debt counselling service, but rather a place for budget coaching and money education.&#160; An analogy that helped me when we setting this up was the difference between surgery or A&amp;E (ER to my US friends) in a hospital or a GP practice.&#160; You have surgery or get rushed to A&amp;E if you are in desperate need of immediate help, but people go to a GP when they are ill, need some help, but not in a life threatening situation.</p>
<div class="wlWriterSmartContent" id="scid:5737277B-5D6D-4f48-ABFC-DD9C333F4C5D:56fa3ef9-1d81-47d1-b485-45207b6eff45" style="padding-right: 15px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; float: left; padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-top: 10px">
<div id="ae14ccb3-05b8-442b-9714-5eec8a410ab4" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; display: inline;">
<div><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAIGbM1sWBU" target="_new"><img src="http://rupertward.cce.uk.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/videoe937a8bbfc0a.jpg" galleryimg="no" onload="var downlevelDiv = document.getElementById('ae14ccb3-05b8-442b-9714-5eec8a410ab4'); downlevelDiv.innerHTML = &quot;&lt;div&gt;&lt;object width=\&quot;425\&quot; height=\&quot;355\&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=\&quot;movie\&quot; value=\&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/dAIGbM1sWBU\&quot;&gt;&lt;\/param&gt;&lt;param name=\&quot;wmode\&quot; value=\&quot;transparent\&quot;&gt;&lt;\/param&gt;&lt;embed src=\&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/dAIGbM1sWBU\&quot; type=\&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash\&quot; wmode=\&quot;transparent\&quot; width=\&quot;425\&quot; height=\&quot;355\&quot;&gt;&lt;\/embed&gt;&lt;\/object&gt;&lt;\/div&gt;&quot;;" alt=""></a></div>

<p> So with money, people who are on the verge of bankruptcy, who are so heavily in debt need drastic action, and a debt advisor is the place to go.&#160; However, there are huge numbers of people, who aren&#8217;t in that desperate situation, but are in debt, who do need help in controlling their finances.&#160; That is where &quot;The Money Clinic&quot; comes in, through either meeting with the person individually, or providing some group training: we help people get in control of their finances.</p>
<p><a href="http://fromnd.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Neil Duguid</a>, who set up the Money Clinic, sent me this brilliant short video about Maria&#8217;s story, of how she got control of her finances using an envelope cash system, that will become clear as you watch the video &#8230;&#160; </p>
<p>It is 10 minutes long; I found it very moving, and really worth watching.&#160; This is how I would love to be helping people, with good money management principles, regardless of their connection with church or otherwise.&#160; I think it is the kind of thing that Jesus would be doing &#8211; freeing people from the tyranny of serving money.</p>
