Jubilee Christian Charitable Trust

The Jubilee Christian Charitable Trust was originally set up in June 1989 by a few families from St David’s Church.  Various Southland Churches and their members help fund the idea of interest free deposits made available for interest free mortgages – to set borrowers off debt free early and be free to offer their resources back to various communities.

The idea was simple – a sharing of resources according to biblical principles with a mortgage period of just 7 years – 6 years to pay off the debt and the final 7th year was to continue with the same payment but this is classed as savings.  This was during a period when the mortgages were reasonably low and the interest rates very high.

Sadly over the years we no longer have the funds to continue funding interest free mortgages, but have a small capital that we can draw interest free loans from the Trust.  This is accessed through the Budget Service Financial Mentors when they are working with their clients and deem it would be in their best interest to help them out with a loan.

Donations are welcome to our relief fund account in which we can bless whanau with.
