The site license provides one year of the same full paid Ramsey+ Membership as a person can buy on-line for $130, but it is completely paid through our site license: I send the link to activate through the site license to each family when I see they are enrolled in class through the registration link that I provided.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How would your church&#8217;s ministry be different if even 10% of your saints could take three months off work to help, without any adverse financial consequences? Many churches are now learning that you cannot serve both God and money, and they are working to get all their saints debt free. You can join them, for free. I&#8217;ll teach you how.  April 21 through June 21, Mondays at 7:00pm EDT, Financial Peace University will show you and your saints how to win and stay winning with finances. For FREE.
