Now here is a message from our founders: ​
​
Dear Facilitators,
​
We are so thankful for your willingness to facilitate one of the Compass Catholic Small Group studies. The Lord has used these studies to help and encourage hundreds of thousands of people since 1985.
The studies will improve your life and your finances as you learn what God says about handling money. They are for everyone—young or old, retired or working, married or single, whether you earn a lot or a little.
​
Amazingly the Bible contains more than 2,500 verses dealing with money and possessions, and 15 percent of everything Jesus taught had to do with it. As you apply these truths from the Scripture, you‘ll enjoy a deeper spiritual life, more financial health, freedom, peace, contentment and even joy.
We‘ve had the privilege of facilitating more than 50 of these groups and have witnessed first-hand the lives and finances of many participants being completely transformed.
​
The most important thing to remember as a facilitator is that people don’t care how much you know, until they know how much you care! So, love and encourage those in your group.
​
Through years of practice and experience, we‘ve discovered the most effective ways to facilitate the studies, and that‘s what we will be sharing with you in this Compass Catholic Facilitator Training.
Again, we are very grateful for your willingness to facilitate a Compass Catholic small group. We pray that the Lord will bless you in every possible way as you faithfully serve the others in your group.
Warmly in Christ,
​
​
