| HEATHER KEATES
Heather Keates talks about her experience of being in debt through a series of unexpected circumstances. She tells how, after she and the family came through that experience, she decided she wanted to set up something to help people in similar circumstances - initially in her own church - but how she felt that God wanted her to do something bigger - to help the whole Community. Community Money Advice started with just one Debt Advice Centre in her own church. It's now grown to over 60 Debt Advice Centres around the Country. The Centres are all linked to local churches and help people with all sorts of money issues from filling in forms to personal insolvency. All the Debt Advice is Free. The idea is to not just help but to educate people so that they never find themselves in that situation again. Community Money Advice have a website - www.communitymoneyadvice.com PHILIP RICHARDS Philip Richards heads one of the City's most successful Hedge Fund Groups. He is a multi-millionaire and in the programme he talks about RAB Capital - the Investment Company he heads up. He also talks about his views on making money and being wealthy. He talks about why he gives money away and who he gives it to - particularly Christians who are suffering persecution. RAB Capital have a website: www.rabcap.com BRIAN AND ANNE SLOAN Brian and Anne Sloan work for Youth with A Mission - the world's largest international and interdenominational Mission sending organisation. YWAM are involved in all sorts of projects around the world - church planting, working with refugees, working in schools and hospitals, bringing emergency relief, agricultural work, relief and development work, work with the homeless and prostitutes etc etc. Brian heads up Marine Reach Ministries - the Maritime arm of Youth With A Mission. Currently they have a ship called the Pacific Link which travels around islands in the Pacific Ocean giving dental and medical care to poor and remote communities. They also have a sailing vessel called the Next Wave which they use to train young people who will be working on YWAM's projects around the world. Being on board a ship helps young people to learn teamwork, leadership skills and stickability. Brian and Anne talk about how they gave up a salary and comfortable lifestyle to go and work for YWAM - and how they now don't receive any income and have to raise their own financial support. They talk about how their faith in God has grown because they have had to rely on Him to provide. YWAM have a website: www.ywam.org SIMON PINCHBECK All his life Simon Pinchbeck has been driven by money. He wanted to be a millionaire by the time he was 21. He joined the Metropolitan Police - because it enhanced his macho image - and during that time saw how rich people lived in smart areas of London, as well as dealing with criminals who had achieved wealth through crime. After leaving the police he got involved with guys he'd met in a gym and started doing things illegally with them which enabled him to make thousands and thousands of pounds. But although he had now achieved his 'dream' of having lots of money - enabling him to have a wonderful lifestyle - nice holidays, expensive cars etc - the money never satisfied him. Eventually he was conned out of all his money and was left the lowest he had ever been in his life. He met up with an ex-drug baron in the gym who had turned his life around through his faith in Jesus Christ. He started going to his church and became a Christian. His desire for money has gone and he now feels a complete person through his faith in Jesus Christ. He now works with a group of guys called Tough Talk who've been through the mangle of life - ex bouncers, body builders and ex-criminals. They go into schools and prisons telling their stories - in the hope of helping people to understand that you don't need to be a certain way to be a Christian because God will meet you wherever you are. Tough Talk have a website: www.tough-talk.com |
