"The Freedom Loans guidance program is an outstanding financial literacy ministry available to income challenged borrowers in Texas"
Vanessa Reed
Community Reinvestment Officer- Comerica Bank
Freedom Loans are available by online application only.
Borrowers are referred by charities, employers and donors who partner to rehabilitate the creditworthiness of borrowers caught in a payday loan trap of escalating debt. Our mission is to guide motivated borrowers to build a bridge from debt to financial freedom. |
FINANCIAL EVALUATION
Qualification is based upon the capabilities of motivated borrowers to repay their Freedom Loan. A Freedom Guide works with each borrower to evaluate their existing sources of income, and determine their ability to repay the loan if payments are extended and interest costs are dramatically reduced. |
LOANS via BROADWAY BANK
Broadway Bank is a key lending partner offering borrowers low-interest multi-month loans. Broadway also offers each applicant a personal banking relationship and the benefit of improving credit scores through timely loan repayment. Donor contributions collateralize each Freedom Loan making low interest multi-month loans possible. |
Caring Relationships
Relationships are at the heart of every Freedom Loans success story. Donors interested in reinvesting in our communities make each Loan possible. Freedom Guides, volunteers who serve borrowers as mentors compassionately provide weekly support to help borrowers build their bridge to financial freedom. |
OUR VISION
ETERNAL FREEDOM THROUGH JESUS CHRIST
Freedom Loans is a financial freedom ministry offering a pathway towards monetary life change for motivated low to moderate income borrowers. Freedom Loans first offers to favorably convert payday loans for borrowers trapped in nightmares of escalating debt from recurring fees and growing interest costs. Early in our unique process each borrower is provided a relationship with a Freedom Guide to assist them in applying sound budgeting principles during the term of their Freedom Loan. Freedom guidance when applied leads toward life changing freedom.
Freedom Loans Directors Pam and David Umstead and Jeff Anderson are dedicated to utilizing their decades of experience in the financial services and business arena to help the less fortunate build their financial futures. Pam and David Umstead, retired successful business owners, are passionate about teaching Judeo-Christian money principles. The Umstead's lead the Freedom Guides ministry which recruits and trains compassionate guides to help borrowers in applying proven disciplines to their financial circumstances. Jeff Anderson coordinates relationships with sponsoring partners who join in our mission of guiding motivated borrowers to build a bridge from debt to financial freedom.
Freedom Loans is a program service of SERV Ministries and Leadership Inc, a 501 c (3) non-profit led by Pastor Jeff Anderson headquartered in Kerrville, Texas.

Read 2 Win, our literacy initiative, helps students gain a head-start toward reading success and connects families with resources needed to become life-long learners. All ministries are empowered by the compassionate volunteers of SERV who donate thousands of hours of personal service annually helping others through the love of Jesus.
