Meet a Novice // Isaac

CTOL: Introduce yourself…

ISAAC: Hi, my name is Isaac, I’m 21 years old. I was born and raised in Market Harborough, but moved to Great Glen. I was raised in the evangelical church in Harborough, then moved on to an Anglican church in the same town. Before coming to Leicester I worked for five years as a green keeper at Kibworth golf club, where I did an apprenticeship and left with a diploma in horticulture.

My passion lies with the outdoors and doing ‘hands-on stuff’, which usually revolves around up-cycling materials to make furniture and decorative items. I also love to write poems and imaginative short stories.

ISAAC: I wanted to become a novice because I feel like its a good starting point to a more promising Christian journey.

CTOL: What are your hopes and dreams for the next 6 months?

ISAAC: I hope we can establish some strong relationships within the Diocese. I excited about getting involved in projects that work with homelessness, refugees and possible prison ministry, both in the Diocese and the wider community.

CTOL: What can we pray for you?

ISAAC: I would like prayer for a peaceful transition as we move into the building and get to know everyone around the Diocese and also for understanding when we meet people who’s journeys have been a lot rougher than our own.
