Prayer in hard times

by Colin Dexter

Praying can often feel difficult when we’re experiencing exhaustion, anger or despair. Many of us will have only seen an increase in these emotions over this last year due to the coronavirus pandemic, on top of life’s other challenges.No matter what was going on in the world, Jesus would slip away and pray (Luke 5:16). Even when he was scared (Mark 14:32), Jesus prioritised time with the Father. It sustained him. And we can get the same peace, strength, purpose and joy from following his example and keeping a rhythm of prayer, even when times are difficult.

The pandemic hasn’t stopped us yet and we’re working hard to ensure it won’t stop us in the future either. CAP phone lines are open, we’re still meeting new clients (remotely) and we’re still progressing cases.-Like P, who created this video and animation herself, so many people feel lonely and burdened with financial worry 😞 . However, thanks to amazing Frontline and Head Office staff, we have still been able to see people become debt-free in the midst of these difficult times and long may it continue!-Are you feeling like P? If so, don’t hesitate to give CAP a call on 0800 328 0006

If a creditor calls someone who is under our care, that person just needs to point the creditor in the direction of CAP and they negotiate on your behalf.-

And of course it’s free – no charge for people for using the services.-Please – if you know anyone who is struggling with money, send them the phone number – 0800 328 0006.

NORTH KOREA

by Colin Dexter

North Korea often makes headlines these days for its human rights abuses, nuclear proliferation, and persecution of Christians. The news tends to portray the North as an ‘Axis of Evil’, but there is much more to this country and the divided Korean peninsula. The church is alive and well in North Korea, but hidden, impoverished, and persecuted. The prayer for many years has been for reunification of the two Koreas. What would this look like, and what would it mean for the Korean church, and the global church?
