Allegheny East Conference's New Life church in Gaithersburg, Md., recently hosted a stewardship emphasis series titled, “Money Moves.” Anthony O’Neal, financial literacy influencer and author, jumpstarted the series by delivering a message for worship service, followed by a Q & A session.
O’Neal’s message focused on how Christians should be stewards of God’s money. He shared four principles to help individuals in their journey to financial freedom: make the money, manage the money, multiply the money, and make the money matter. Following his message, attendees asked questions on topics ranging from investing to business ownership.
