Join us as we spend a Sunday dedicated to learning about the work of CAP and all that has been happening over the last year in our CAP Debt centre.
We have two guest speakers joining us that day:
9am and 11am - Alex Jones (Acting Director for Fundraising and Income)
Alex is a dedicated and visionary leader who has been instrumental in shaping CAP’s fundraising and income strategies since joining in 2017. With a strong belief in the inherent dignity and infinite worth of every individual, Alex is driven to create a world where everyone is treated with dignity and respect. Alex firmly believes in the collective power of individuals working together to bring about positive change, be it through prayer, volunteering, advocacy, or giving. A Baptist by background and membership, he is passionate about church unity and celebrates the rich diversity of Christian expression across the world, eager to harness it to see lives transformed.
6pm - Peter Snell (Money Coaching Lead)
Peter first heard about Christians Against Poverty (CAP) when his church at the time, on the Isle of Wight, decided to partner with CAP to help local people locked in unmanageable debt. Ever since seeing it firsthand he’s been passionate at the way that CAP and the local church together can see lives, families and communities totally transformed, and how serving in this ministry transforms your own life too. Peter has worked at CAP for 9 years during which time he spent 2 years at CAP New Zealand as well as leading our National Speaker Team in the UK. He currently leads CAPs Money coaching network of over 500 churches, which, since 2008 has empowered over 80,000 adults to experience the freedom of feeling in control of their finances.
