Unique Ministry Shares Christ While Helping People Save Money
"Although Haskin takes great pleasure in helping people save money on their mortgages, the opportunities for sharing Christ as he meets people is one of the ministry aspects he values most. He always carries his Bible with him. Sometimes he prays with clients on the phone."
(Oregon)—Christian News Northwest has published an inspiring story of former nursing home chaplain George Haskin—aka "Mortgage Police"—who since 2007 has assisted more than 350 people with their mortgage paperwork. His advice has reportedly helped his average client save at least $3,000. He considers his work a ministry and does it for free. The extent to which Haskin and his wife go to reach out to people in their community is truly amazing.
Writes reporter Ann Staatz: "Haskin attended Multnomah Bible College for a year in the early 1980s. Severely dyslexic, he didn't learn to read until he was 21. But his quick memory helped him learn Greek at the college and recently complete the 20-hour training the state requires for an individual to become a mortgage broker."
