Supporting Christian singles on their path to finding a partner for life

Amongst others, Fit for Family’s aim is to support you as pastors, teachers and youth leaders in your daily work with youth, families and Christian singles within your community and institutions.Worldwide, we believe there is a lack of support for Christian singles in our communities.

Many of the platforms which Christians turn to are fraught with risks, leaving trusting singles susceptible to exploitation.
Often costing a lot of money, users of these platforms share vast amounts of
personal and private information and photographs. This information leaves one open to being a target for those with ulterior motives.

Fit for Family has adopted a concept from the FEG in Zurich, a free church,
which for the last 20 years has been providing the service of bringing suitably matched Christians together and helping them find a partner for life.


This hugely successful concept has Christian singles meeting once a month, along with a speaker, to listen to interesting topics and move from table to table meeting other like-minded Christians with the same goal of meeting a Christian marriage partner.


We strongly encourage a similar concept at your institution, to open your
church once a month or to meet with other Churches looking to achieve similar outcomes.


We have carefully created the package to help you achieve this successful event which includes concept, promotional videos, posters, hand outs and pamphlets that you can use within your foundation to reach out to young Christian singles.
We also offer personalisation of these videos for a low fee through Malcolm Fitt: malcolm@opiamill.com


Our second product offering is that of a matching platform which, along with the video, can be purchased and integrated into your own website to support your community. It can be customized to suit you and your branding.
This product is not unlike a matching agency. It requires the answering of
questions, up to 120 in three categories, namely Faith, the most important with more than 60 questions, Daily life and Personality/Character.

http://devdemo.pro/matchingplatform/dev/


Each set of questions is unique in telling us more about yourself and what
you need from your future partner through yes or no questions, scales, no-go options, etc.


The user will be asked to submit an Mp3 recording of themself speaking a
line or two. The recording of their voice is just as important as their images in giving a rounded representation of themself.
Based on the outcome of these questions, a recommendation is made and the single can, from there, decide if the match is suitable to them or not.
If they find this to be a suitable match, only then will personal details be shared.


After a first meeting, a follow up is made to see how suitable they felt the
match was. They are not left on their own.
Safety is top priority with an integrated ID proofing system and domain SSL option. Apart from the administrator, private details remain as such – private!

Head over to fitforfamily.org to find out more and email us at info@fitforfamily.org to receive further details.

You determine the price! Our matching agency has a manufacturing price of over $ 50,000 including all working hours. Even a small sum of a few hundred dollars is a great help in driving down our manufacturing costs.

If you cannot raise any money at the moment, you will still receive the webpage, the first point is to support starting a family
and, if you would like the burden of hosting managed for you, we will put you in touch with our programmers, Datalogy Software who can provide this service at an affordable rate of $120 per year. They can do also following tasks for a church for 350 Euros.

  • Change logo and colors of matching test
  • Setup matching test with new logo and colors on server 3. Provide domain and hosting for 1 year
  • Answer any question they have by email. Besides that, you can get a special price at www.digiaccess.org to offer your webpage barrier- free.


The platform offers two means of functionality:


Fully Automated which includes 1 Admin, automated emails and the matching process without partner appearance proofing.

Partially Automated which includes the use of sub-admins to whom the work of proofing specific desired partner appearances is provided. The admin compares the photos of the match here to ensure that they match the desired appearance of the respective partner. For this reason, every user can upload stock photos that should help us what the future partner should look like.

The whole process is extremely simple. Only a host (as described above) and an admin – whose responsibility it is to answer questions and direct technical issues to the host – is necessary for this to function. However, much more customization can be made by uploading Bible verses, Christian jokes or new matching questions for example.


We also include our terms and conditions for you to use as a guide in creating your own Terms and Conditions however because this has been specifically constructed for the German market and for Fitforfamily, this must not be used verbatim.


Just as a side note, it is absolutely possible to have this page run in a language of your choice, so no matter where you are, this platform will work for you.


We highly recommend this as a new service for your church, whereby your
Churches in say, Dallas, LA, London or Sydney can work, with the support of Datalogy Software (the platform developers), with Churches in your area.

The platform is uncomplicated and inexpensive and no doubt a huge blessing for your Christian singles and we encourage you to actively take a look at this. Please Email us: info@fitforfamily.org


In addition to our singles products, Fitforfamily are extremely proud to also
offer additional platforms (without video and T’s & C’s) in the form of a
template, namely icsesp.org, which can be used to advertise Student Exchange and Study Programs and christiannonprofitconsulting.com which recognises the worldwide potential for companies, universities, students, graduates, specialists and senior specialists to help Christian non-profit organisations with their needs to get consulting for free from you.

For example, as an Evangelical Alliance

member, your Church could use the Consulting/Volunteers page along with its fundraising function and private loans request option or for yourself as a great NPO. The ICSESP page could be an attractive option for the Church Alliance or a large Education Company and their tribes.

Or even for ones courses at
College/University.
Give it a thought! We ask you also here kindly for a donation. Each page has a value of around 50 000 dollars.


For detailed technical enquiries please contact Datalogy Software here – dtripathi@datalogysoftware.com


Thank you for your time and I pray that this will be the start of a worldwide
movement to support our Christian singles. May God bless you.

Your

Christian Pälchen

21 Eye-Opening Ways Men and Women Communicate Differently

“The fact is that men and women communicate differently. Although men and women speak the same language, we have differences in priorities, internal processing and behaviour patterns so it is easy to misunderstand, misinterpret or simply not get where the other is coming from.
To increase your ability to persuade, motivate, influence and get along, you must understand the gender communication rules or gender codes for how men and women communicate. This in-turn will help you to build rapport, relationships and connect.
While gender differences may have been widely researched and certain behaviours observed and labelled, it’s never, ever appropriate to stereotype. Every person is an individual and the characteristics for men and women will vary depending on the person.
Based on our research, observations in our training programmes and a number of books such as Debra Tannen’s, You Just Don’t Understand, here are some overall observations of differences between men and women. Understanding these differences can assist you in continuing to build and maintain relationships.”

Corona: How to be prepared for a Financial Crisis/Currency reform (Eng./Ger.Versions) Tipps, um sich auf eine Finanzkrise/Währungsreform vorzubereiten

English version:

German version:

Finance Advice Manual For Families

Some of you are concerned about the economic future, Today I would like to give you some tips as a trained banker, in addition you can download my financial course the ICS Finance manual here at fitforfamily free of charge.

It gives you a lot of practical tips when dealing with money and provides the most important financial knowledge with many examples.

So now to my tips to be prepared for a currency reform if necessary. In general, with all the tips I give you today, it should be noted that it takes at least 1-2 years, if not longer, for a currency  reform. Certain phases have to be completed first.

1. Invest heavily in stocks, preferably from the areas of raw materials, food industry, pharmaceuticals, software oligopolists and possibly in the e-gaming industry. Spreads widely in various currency markets such as Swiss, US or European companies. What you should pay attention to here, how to find good stocks, I will briefly cover today.

A few key factors to value a stock:

Price-earnings ratio should be low, Sales development in recent years?, Dividend increases in recent years and regular payment?, Earnings per share, cash reserve?, Book value of the share?, Company patents and how long in the hand of the company?, How wide the company is positioned? Is it a market leader?

Are there products that are always in demand, such as Coca Cola, Water, Food? How innovative is the company? Why did the share price collapse, maybe it wasn’t the fault of the company?

The best thing to do is to regularly expand your portfolio through monthly stock purchases and also take price gains and invest in new opportunities or hold 30 percent cash reserve for very good replacement options, as is now the case in the Corona crisis.

Searches on Google for the abbreviations of the respective aspect such as price-earnings ratio, this would now go too far. Read a lot about a company and monitor your stock companies every few weeks, investing in the long term with the intention of at least 8-10 years.

Checks every few months at the latest whether the company is still good and uses stop loss functions (adjustable at the respective broker, automatic sale at a specific price) in order to counteract very large price drops. In the event of price drops that have nothing to do with the company, stay invested. Generally the money should be “left”, that is why you can sleep well during this time!

With regular savings, the cost average effect comes into play. You benefit from getting more shares in low price phases for e.g., 100 Euros and in higher phases less shares.

On the bottom line, this is positive in the long term for the investor.

The shares increase in value.

Use very good test magazines in your country, to inform yourself  which funds are very good for a long time and inexpensively, so also with broker providers and ETFS.

If this is too demanding, I recommend very well tested funds in these segments or stocks such as Berkshire Hathaway. Which own companies like a railway company, invest in hundreds of companies and act very conservatively, long-term orientated. 

Not as a speculator but as an inverter. Like you! 


2. Try to get rid of your loans and do not accept any for consumer goods in the future. For real estate only if it is a necessary investment or when buying a property with a very high return on equity, long-term financing with a fixed interest rate, special repayment options and in a very good location, with stable population and an environment of e.g. many civil servants, so groups of workers who do not lose their jobs so quickly in a crisis.

Always have a reserve of 10 percent of the purchase price, better 20 percent for unpredictable expenses. Rents should not be too high compared to 10 years ago.

3. 2-3 monthly salaries in cash at home are good.

4. A little gold in 10 gr bars also helps, possibly cigarettes for exchange. But that is a Christian ethical question.

5. Do not keep money in accounts, this is quickly charged with negative interest rates when inflation is high.

6. Use the opportunity of companies like www.Goldmoney.com, where I can get precious metal reserves worldwide at any time and if necessary can also collect the gold myself, but I don’t have to carry it with me, it can also be transferred to foreign accounts.

7. Have food supplies at home for at least 14 days.

8. ETFs are not always the best investment alternatives because they reflect an index like the Dax, but if a company like SAP accounts for 50 percent in the Dax, the ETF also reflects 50 percent SAP and the other 29 companies are much less included, Cluster formation.

9. Foreign currency accounts are helpful.

10. For real estate, make sure that you regularly increase rents when inflation comes, if the state allows it. There is already a rent brake in Germany. Banks can always ask for a new security for a property if the property market should collapse. In the case of a currency reform, there is an extra tax per m2 over decades, which can be 10 percent of the rents (collected in Germany in 1948, spread over 30 years).

 

Finally, a tip for Germany:

For credit contracts before the June 21st 2016

The CJEU (Case C-66/19) has adopted the so-called “cascade reference”. This can be found as part of the cancellation policy in most mortgage loans and motor vehicle loans that were concluded from June 2010. It reads: “The period begins after the contract has been concluded, but only after the borrower has received all the mandatory information pursuant to Section 492 (2) of the German Civil Code (e.g. information on the type of loan, information on the net loan amount, information on the contract term).” A customer can revoke a loan years after it is taken out.

Please, ask your lawyer to proof your contract. After his OK, ask a bank to give you a new credit offer (binding!!, otherwise the bank accepts your request and you can not pay off the remaining debt) than ask your lawyer to get in contact with your bank.

You can save thousands of Euros, what a blessing!!!

Good luck in implementing the tips.

Shalom, your Christian Pälchen


 


In German:

Einige von euch machen sich Gedanken über die wirtschaftliche Zukunft und eine evtl. Währungsreform. Heute möchte ich euch als gelernter Banker hierzu  Tipps geben, darüber hinaus findet ihr meinen Finanzkurs das ICS Finance Manual hier bei fitforfamily kostenlos zum Dowload.

Es gibt euch sehr viele praktische Tipps im Umgang mit Geld und vermittelt das wichtigste Finanzwissen mit vielen Beispielen. So, nun zu meinen Tipps, um auch für eine Währungsreform ggf. vorbereitet zu sein. Generell ist bei allem was ich euch heute an Tipps gebe zu beachten, dass es bis zu einer Wärungsreform mindestens 1-2 Jahre dauert, wenn nicht länger. Bestimmte Phasen müssen erst durchlaufen werden.

1. Investiert breit in Aktien, am Besten aus den Bereichen der Rohstoffe, Nahrungsmittelindustrie, Pharmazie, Software Oligopolisten und evtl. in die E-Gaming Industrie. Investiert breit gestreut in verschiedenen Währungensmärkten wie der Schweiz, USA oder europäische Unternehmen. Worauf hier zu achten ist, wie man gute Aktien findet werde ich heute kurz behandeln.

Ein paar Key Faktoren um eine Aktie zu bewerten:

Das Kurs Gewinn-Verhältnis sollte niedrig sein, Umsatzentwicklung in den letzten Jahren, Dividendenerhöhungen in den letzten Jahren und regelmässige Zahlung dieser, Gewinn pro Aktie, Bargeldreserve des Unternehmens, Buchwert der Aktie, Patente des Unternehmens und wie lange in der Hand des Unternehmens?, Wie breit ist das Unternehmen aufgestellt?, Ist es ein Marktführer?

Sind es Produkte die immer nachgefragt werden, wie z.B. Coca Cola, Wasser , Lebensmittel allgemein? Wie innovativ ist das Unternehmen?, Warum ist der Aktienkurs gerade eingebrochen, lag es evtl. nicht am Unternehmen?

Am Besten man baut regelmässig durch monatliche Aktienkäufe sein Depot aus und nimmt auch Kursgewinne mit und reinvestiert in neue Chancen bzw. hält 30 Prozent Cashreserve für sehr gute Nachkaufoptionen bereit, wie jetzt in der Corona Krise.

Sucht über Google nach den Abkürzungen der jeweiligen Aspekte wie Kurs-Gewinnverhältnis, dies würde jetzt zu weit führen.

Lest viel über ein Unternehmen und beobachtet alle paar Wochen eure Akienunternehmen, investiert mit der Absicht langfristig die Aktie, sprich 8-10 Jahre mindestens zu halten.

Überprüft aber alle paar Monate spätestens, ob das Unternehmen noch gut ist und nutzt Stop loss Funktionen (Einstellbar beim jeweiligen Broker, automatischer Verkauf bei einem bestimmten Kurs), um sehr große Kursrückgänge entgegenzuwirken, bei Kurseinbrüchen, die nichts mit dem Unternehmen zu tun haben, wie gerade jetzt: am Besten investiert bleiben.  Generell sollte das Geld “übrig” sein, sprich, dass man auch in dieser Zeit ruhig schläft!

 

Beim regelmässigen Sparen kommt der Cost Average Effekt zur Geltung. Man profitiert davon in niedrigen Kursphasen  mehr Aktien für z.B., 100 Euro und in höheren Phasen weniger Aktie zu erhalten, unterm Strich ist dies  langfristig  positiv für den Investor, da die günstigeren Phasen über Jahre  die Oberhand haben. Der Aktienindex steigt im Wert.

Nutzt sehr gute Testmagazine in eurem Land, welche Fonds sind sehr gut über eine lange Zeit und kostengünstig, so auch bei Broker Anbietern und ETFS.

Wem dies zu anspruchsvoll ist, dem empfehle ich sehr gut geteste Fonds in  diesen Segmenten oder Aktien wie Berkshire Hathaway. Welches selber Unternehmen wie eine Eisenbahngesellschaft besitzen, in hunderten Firma inverstiert sind und sehr konservativ handeln, langfristig.

Eben nicht als Spekulant, sondern als Investor! Wie du und ich!

2. Versucht eure Kredite los zu werden und nimmt in Zukunft keine für Konsumgüter auf. Für Immobilien nur wenn es sich um eine notwendige Investition handelt oder beim Erwerb einer Immobilie mit einer sehr hohen Eigenkapitalrendite, langfristiger Finanzierung mit festem Zinssatz, Sondertilgungsmöglichkeiten und in sehr guter Lage liegend, mit stabilen Einwohnerzahlen und einem Umfeld von z.B. vielen Staatsbediensteten, sprich Arbeitnehmergruppen die in einer Krise nicht so schnell die Arbeit verlieren.

Habt hierbei immer eine Mindestreserve von 10 Prozent des Kaufpreises, besser 20 Prozent für unvorhersehbare Ausgaben. Die Mieten sollten auch im Verhältnis zu vor 10 Jahre nicht zu hoch sein.

3. 2-3 Monatsgehälter in Cash zu Hause sind gut.

4. Etwas Gold in 10 gr Barren hilft ebenfalls, dazu evtl. Zigaretten zum Tausch. Das ist aber eine christliche, ethische Frage.

5. Haltet kein Geld auf Konten, dies wird bei hoher Inflation schnell mit Minuszinsen belegt.

6. Nutzt die Möglichkeit von Firmen wie www.Goldmoney.com, wo ich jederzeit an Edelmetallresreven weltweit ran kann und ggf. das Gold auch selber abholen kann, ich muss es aber nicht mit mir rumtragen, es kann auch auf ausländische Konten überwiesen werden (Der verkaufte Gegenwert).

7. Habt Essensvorräte für mind. 14 Tage zu Hause.

8. ETFs sind nicht immer die besten Anlagealternativen, da sie einen Index wie den Dax wiederspiegeln, aber wenn eine Fima wie SAP theoretisch 50 Prozent im Dax ausmacht, so spiegelt der ETF auch 50 Prozent SAP wieder und die anderen 29 Firmen kommen viel weniger vor, Clusterbildung.

9. Fremdwährungskonten sind hilfreich.

10. Achtet bei Immobilien darauf, dass ihr regelmässig bei einer Inflation die Mieten erhöht, sofern der Staat dies zu lässt. In Deutschland gibt es schon eine Mietpreisbremse. Die Banken können bei einer Immobilie immer eine Nachsicherung verlangen, wenn der Immobilienmarkt einbrechen sollte. Bei einer Währungsreform gibt es über Jahrzehnte verteilt pro m2 eine extra Steuer, dies können mal 10 Prozent der Mieten sein.(In Deutschland 1948 erhoben, über 30 Jahre verteilt).

 

Zum Schluss noch ein Tipp für Deutschland: Für Kreditverträge die vor dem 21.06.2016 abgeschlossen wurden

Der EuGH (Rechtssache C-66/19) hat sich den sogenannten „Kaskadenverweis“ vorgenommen. Dieser findet sich als Teil der Widerrufsbelehrung in den meisten Baufinanzierungen und Kfz-Krediten, die ab Juni 2010 abgeschlossen worden sind. Er lautet: „Die Frist beginnt nach Abschluss des Vertrags, aber erst, nachdem der Darlehensnehmer alle Pflichtangaben nach § 492 Absatz 2 BGB (z.B. Angabe zur Art des Darlehens, Angabe zum Nettodarlehensbetrag, Angabe zur Vertragslaufzeit) erhalten hat.“

Ein Kunde kann Darlehen Jahre nach Abschluss noch widerrufen.

Das sind  evtl. 10 Tausende Euro Zinsvorteile! Was für ein Geschenk!

Lasst euren Vertrag vom Anwalt überprüfen, wenn dieser das OK gibt, holt ein verbindliches !! Kreditangebot ein (sonst geht die Bank darauf ein und ihr könnt nicht die Restschuld begleichen) und danach wendet euch über den Anwalt an eure Bank!

 

Viel Erfolg bei der Umsetzung der Tipps, Schalom!

Euer Christian Pälchen



 


	

So where did you meet YOUR partner?

So where did you meet YOUR partner? New research reveals where Australians fall in love… and it’s NOT online (or at the pub)

  • New study says you could be looking in the wrong place if you’re only looking for love online 
  • The survey of 1000 Australians found 1 in 3 people exchanged phone numbers and kissed someone new at a live event
  • 1 in 10 people said they fell in love after meeting someone at an event
  • 93 per cent of people would rather lock eyes with someone across a room than receive a Facebook friend request from someone they fancied
  • The most common hook-up hotspots are sporting and music events

Despite the ever growing popularity of online dating, virtual platforms are no match for interactions in the real world when it comes to finding true love, a new Australian study has found.

Almost half of all Aussies surveyed by ticketing company Eventbrite said they met their partner at a live event. One in three people said they’d exchanged phone numbers at an event with someone they fancied and one in ten said they’d fallen in love.

The survey found the most common hooked-up hotspots were live sporting and music events, followed by business and networking events.

The most common places to meet a potential life partner in Australia are sports and music events, followed by business and networking events, according to the EventBrite survey of 1000 Australians
