Back again Stew,  

As I was saying: 

Financing is a real sore subject amongst most bankers when a
disabled person asks for a loan.  They don't want to loan you money
for a speech synthesizer or reading machine because there is no
real resale value on adaptive software.  If you don't have any real
property that you can use as collateral, you can't get a loan at a
reasonable interest rate if you can even get one at all.  The
Church can help by providing low interest loans to it's disabled
congregants.  Terms can be set up that can work both for the
Church and the borrower.  Gifts are not necessary, but a loan that
can be paid back as the person is able to is a great way your
church can help.  Sorry, you have got to go to one more message to
finish this series of 4 messages.
