Debt Free Story 2020 – Client P
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

NORTH KOREA
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?

WHY PRAY?
It is true that often when we pray it is to ask God to help us in a time of difficulty , whether its financial or health or employment or other areas of need. Its as if we only pray when we want or need something.
The Bible talks about a time before “sin” became part of the fabric of this world, when God came down in the cool of the day for a “chat ” (Prayer) with the present incumbents of earth.
We can guess that those conversations were not requests for health or food or need as there was no “sin”. They would have been healthy in mind and body with a God given purpose on earth. What would the conversation (prayer) have been like?
Yes, God is a holy awesome God and we must be careful in our approach but the Bible also says that if we repent, confess our sins , and receive his forgiveness and receive the Holy Spirit God calls us his family & friends and we can address Him as our Father.
Prayer then becomes a normal conversation , like a father speaking to a growing child, like a growing child speaking to His Father.
