You've Helped Grace is a Pre-Existing Condition Forgive More Than $45,000 In Medical Debt!

Last night, around 30 folks gathered in the parlor of the education building at First Christian Church of Wilson, NC for our book release party. We had a good time and some great conversation, with the help of Rev. Leigh Finnegan-Hosey as emcee and Rev. Blythe Taylor who led a conversation with me about the new book, Grace is a Pre-Existing Condition.

A portion of the proceeds from book sales at the event were donated to RIP Medical Debt. All in all, last night’s event raised $100 for the organization, which buys medical debt for pennies on the dollar and then abolishes the debt. Added to the more than $350 raised by our pre-order period, we’ve now helped forgive more than $45,000 in medical debt — since the debt can be purchased so cheaply, each $1 donation to RIP Medical Debt can forgive $100 in debt.

You helped do this. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

For a family, or multiple families, somewhere in this country, this means that they have been released from the imprisonment of unpayable debt and our now experiencing the kind of freedom that Jesus spoke about in his first sermon in Nazareth.

Not sure how I made that leap? Get yourself a copy of Grace is a Pre-Existing Condition and read the chapter on forgiveness of debts!
