“God restored everything we lost and then some, 100-fold, like I never would have thought that I'd end up here”
Entrepreneur Tom Cartwright — losing everything in a failed deal, then tithing through financial hardship until God restored it all

Business Failure Brings Financial Ruin

Tom Cartwright was once an ambitious inventor, driven by the dream of success. His entrepreneurial venture seemed promising, but a foreign business deal went awry, plunging him into financial ruin. Headlines read, 'Bank Summa loses U.S. 600 million,' and Tom found himself at rock bottom. Unable to provide for his family, they had to rely on food stamps and a single car.

Turning to Faith in Desperation

In the depths of despair, Tom and his wife, Anna, turned to faith. They began attending church, seeking solace and guidance. Tom decided to prioritize God, putting his faith first, followed by his family and work. This decision marked a pivotal shift in their lives.

Tithing During Financial Hardship

Tom and Anna learned the importance of tithing, committing to give 10% of their income despite their financial struggles. Through this act of faith, they experienced a transformation in their lives. Tom testified, 'God restored everything we lost and then some, 100-fold, like I never would have thought that I'd end up here.'

God Restored My Finances Completely

Today, Tom's story is one of redemption and restoration. His life and business have been rebuilt on the foundation of faith. By trusting God and aligning his priorities, Tom experienced blessings beyond his imagination. His journey serves as a testament to the transformative power of faith and the abundant restoration that comes through Jesus.
