Soaries also has issued a Billion Dollar Challenge as a national initiative and free resource to help individuals and families collectively pay down $1 billion in consumer debt. “So many people are drowning in personal debt and, worse, they just don’t know how to get out. But there is a way out,” he said. “dfree® takes people from debts, delinquencies and deficits to deposits, dividends and deeds. It’s a program that requires personal responsibility, commitment and support from others.”
Churches and others who have found success using the dfree® program will join together November 2016 for the 5th Annual Financial Freedom Conference, “Say Yes to the Next Level,” being hosted this year at Soaries’ church, First Baptist Church of Lincoln Gardens in Somerset, New Jersey.
