My Personal experience as a LOVE BudgetCounselor…
… That the program is less about financial directions and more about establishing personal disciplines.… More about being a life anchor point for a client than ananswer man.… More about listening than telling.… More about prayer for and with a client and less about personally “fixing” things.… More about being a practical Christian and less about being a “perfect” person.
- Larrry VanderVeen, LOVE Inc. Budget Counselor
