Tuesday Evenings  

Tuesday evenings 

The Gate Church (www.theGateOC.com) has formed a new ministry to offer counseling and professional guidance to homeowners who may be facing foreclosure. But here's the catch: There is no catch. This ministry is open to anyone in need, Believers or non-Belivers, Members or not, and there is no requirement to convert to faith. Pastor Habib Bardowell believes there are many ways to deliver God's message, not only through words but through actions, and that is what ProjectDebtRelief is all about. The PDR team is comprised of Licensed Professionals and Business people as volunteers, and they are still building. The ministry features one-on-one counseling, open sessions, and web training for anyone needing resources to equip them to mitigate or avoid losses althogether due to credit or real estate problems. More importantly, this is a place where people can turn to find a path, get a second opinion or get help finding the right resources to help them with their problems. There is no fee for consultation or for contract review. If you are in need or know someone who is, be sure to call Project Debt Relief at 949.709.8784 or e-mail them at projectdebtrelief@cox.net. The ministry takes place on Tuesday evenings, and one-on-one sessions can be scheduled for alternative times. All consultation is free and without obligation. You can also talk with a counselor before or after Church Service on Sunday at 10:00 am in Laguna Hills.
