Our church partners with Christians Against Poverty (CAP UK) to support local people here in Ashford who are facing debt and other financial challenges / unmanageable debt / financial challenges. At Willesborough Baptist Church, we’ve seen how poverty robs people of dignity, hope and opportunities, and together with CAP we’re determined to fight back.
Hosted by Anne
Anne first heard about CAP over 20 years ago when attending a Christian conference in Kent. The message then was to teach your children the importance and value of money. Since then Anne’s desire to help, encourage and share with others how to make the most of their income has grown and when she heard about the Life Skills course last year felt God calling her to use this tool to reach people in need.
Sessions will run on a Friday afternoon.
