SG 5503    Prosperous Soul Foundations   
Video/Audio/Textbook/Workbook
Steve DeSilva
This course will change your life. As believers, we are called to greatness, and to do "greater things." Without integrity and understanding we are destined for mediocrity, or worse. The Bible is replete with lessons about money and riches, yet many believers today remain confused about their role with wealth. Unlike most financial teachings, Stephen DeSilva blends both practical and supernatural elements, drawing from the greatest financial book of all time: The Word of God.

Whether you are a curious beginner or a seasoned financial professional, Prosperous Soul Stewardship Series: Foundations is essential for every believer who desires to grow in God's calling to supernatural stewardship. Wealth is God's plan for every believer, and it is our assignment today to prepare our hearts and character for good works in Christ. Poverty is a beatable enemy in our lifetime and the church is God's intended stewardship tool.

Comments & News

We thank God for CTS as it provides us with the opportunity to study on-line while we travel as missionaries in Eastern Europe. As we looked at several ways to continue our studies we did not find a suitable format until we were introduced to CTS. Since we started our studies we have been blessed with the lesson material. Our opinions are challenged and being saved for more than 30 years, we  realize that there is still a lot to learn.  We hope to partner with CTS in our mission work as we conduct training sessions here in Eastern Europe.
