Taking ordinary people, training them and then putting them out on
the streets of Wrexham might a first sight sound crazy! But instead we
have found that the love of God, expressed in a practical way, has
broken down barriers between the church and local people, the police and
the council. 
Christians Against Poverty (CAP) is a national debt counselling charity
working through a network of 58 centres based in local churches.
Since 2005, Wrexham's churches have gone out every weekend to meet and
minister to our homeless and roofless population. Working from the back
of their cars, rain or shine, we have seen barriers between the churches
and its role to the disadvantaged come tumbling down.
Rock Salt is a youth and community outreach project based in Caergwrle,
near Wrexham. Working with forty to sixty teenagers per evening, plus
other age groups, Rocksalt is now in its eleventh year creating an
environment in which young people feel secure, respected and valued,
where relationships are built based on mutual respect and trust.
Over the last ten years throughout our churches in the town, Mission
Wrexham has encouraged Chrsitians to train to become skilled in
listening, so that anyone who would like to be offered a 'listening ear'
can call Wrexham Listeners.
