John Kirkby founded CAP in 1996 in response to the tremendous poverty he saw in his home city of Bradford, UK.  As a Christian, he believed God was calling him to use the skills gained through 17 years' experience in the consumer finance industry to reach out to people suffering under the burden of debt.

John has overseen the growth and organisational development of the charity as well as pioneering the work in Australia and New Zealand.




"I am overhwhelmed by what God has done.  To see thousands of lives changed every year is truly wonderful.  I do believe that God has given us a 21st Century answer to one of the most pressing social needs within society today.  Jesus met people's needs with love, compassion and practical help.  Our desire is to simply do the same and watch the miracles unfold.  Please get involved in this amazing, God inspired ministry."  John Kirkby, Founder and International Director
