Being in debt and seeing no way out has to be one of the most depressing situations for anyone to be in: it's demoralising, stressful, breaks family relationships and can lead to deep depression and related health issues.
Thankfully, in 1996 John and Lizzie Kirkby felt God calling them to help the poor and needy in their hometown of Bradford, UK. This courageous couple stepped out in faith and today have a ministry that started in a bedroom of their home extending to Australia and New Zealand. Their organisation has helped thousands of people and will continue to help many more thousands of people who have been bound by debt.
When times are good we don't always think about the future, then suddenly, someone in the family loses their job, no income; someone gets sick and needs extensive medical care, no income to pay for the doctor's fees; and no income to pay the electricity, gas, rates, telephone and all the other bills that have to be paid.
When debt comes in the door, spirits dive to a place of hoplessness where you feel as though you are in a dark place and there's no light to guide you out of that dark place. It's difficult to admit you're in debt even though it may be because of a negative change in circumstances.
Nevertheless written by John Kirkby is an inspirational biography. It is an account of his life and his walk of faith when he heard the call of God. He committed himself to helping others get rid of debt and to restore their self-worth.
John Kirkby is an amazing man on an incredible journey that started when he was in his own hole of debt and he needed to find a way out. God took him on that journey so that he could help others who were also in need of inspiration. It started in a bedroom of his home and has grown to the organisation that owns a refurbished factory and spread across the world to Australia and New Zealand. The end result has come because of his deep faith and desire to change thousands of people's lives.
John's program is designed to help people by taking control of their debts. Officers and counsellors work together and liaise with financial institutions so the debts can be paid back over time, then they prepare a plan for the future that will keep them debt free. By the time the plan is implemented the client's self-esteem is restored and they are given enormous hope for the future. You can read the testimonies on CAP's website.
If you're in debt, and most people hit this position at some time their lives, take time now to contact Christians Against Poverty to get out of the dark and into the light and get your life back on track.
