Debt Counselling Centre Celebrates Four Years

 

A church-based charity is celebrating four years of rescuing local people from personal debt – a free service literally saving lives.

 

In October 2010, members of Northfield Community Church decided they wanted to do more to help the local community and partnered with UK debt counselling charity Christians AgainstPoverty (CAP) to open a local branch.

Now the team have helped countless despairing local families and individuals by offering a free, face-to-face and caring service,which gives both hope and a solution.

Centre manager Lynda Cooper said: “We have been in a lot of homes during these four years and learned about some very sad situations. Debt can be so destructive, making people feel so desperate, scared to go out or even open the curtains.

 

“Relationships come under a lot of stress and people worry about keeping their home and providing for their families.

 

“However, we’ve also seen that however terrible something appears, there is always a solution and the benefit of the way CAP works is that it is really thorough, taking someone step by step to becoming debt free.”

 

Common reasons for debt include low income, relationship breakdown, joblessness, problems with benefits, illness or bereavement.

 

CAP’s service is available to everyone regardless of age, gender, faith or background.

Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young! By phil longfoot

Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity. 1 Timothy 4:12 NIV


My name is Phil and i go to Northfield. I volunteer each year with Merseyside Christian Youth Camps www.mcyc.co.uk 


We are blessed at Northfield with people of all ages and the young people have always been a blessing to us and we have always encouraged them to play their part.


It was my 20th year of being a group leader at MCYC camps and each year I have seen young people grow over the years from 9 year old children to become church leaders/Sunday school teachers/group leaders at MCYC. 


Last week at MCYC I was at the 15-17 year old camp and the young people were on a trip to Llandudno in North Wales. They had been taking part in Bible studies and worship times all week. We provided fish and chips for them on the West Shore of LLandudno. The worship leader had a guitar and said to the campers that there would be a chance for a worship time in the open. The campers looked nervous a first but once the song "My lighthouse" by Rend Collective they really went for it including actions.


The young people were inspiring. It was great in an age where people are labelled at troublemakers etc 110 young people who want to serve the Lord and serve others can stand in the middle of a promenade and worship Jesus. Check out the video. They were inspirational  


Let us always pray for our young people and encourage them and may the Lord be their lighthouse throughout their lives.
