United States CFM Churches and Lack Thereof

I figured this would be an interesting topic to research. The states highlighted in green are the states without a fellowship church. (Green means GO, lol) The number beside each state represents the amount of churches in each state.

Next I might research other countries...unless someone knows of another website listing them.

Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

EveryDollar - New Free Budgeting Tool by Dave Ramsey

Dave Ramsey has released a FREE budgeting tool, EveryDollar. Since I base my budget on his income allocation budgeting system and have blogged about that before, I thought I'd share a review of his new tool.

I must say I'm impressed with how easy it is to use and set up. My husband and I transferred our April budget over quickly and easily.

I like that it combines the budget and envelope system. Well not really the physical envelope system, but the general idea as it shows you how much you have left in each category at the click of a button.

The only thing I still had to use my notebook for was the savings breakdown. (I use my digital OneNote notebook instead of a physical notebook now.) Since we budget by the month it was fine and not a hassle.

I hope you'll try it out for yourself!

*Well I posted this without ever reading the help section on EveryDollar. I decided to check if it had an option for the savings account breakdown and IT DOES!
What is a Fund? explains the process to adding your savings goals to EveryDollar.

I'm off to try it out now!

Have you heard of open.church?

Most Christians and even some non-Christians have heard of the Bible App. But did you know the makers of the Bible App also provide lots of great free resources?

They have curriculum you can use for preschool as well as training materials for the teachers! And it's all FREE!

Not only do they have resources for children, but they also have resources for church leadership!

Plus lots more! And did I mention it's free, lol! I hope you find something useful for your family, church, and ministry.
