God at work
Michael works at an outdoor water activity centre, but it wasn’t always that way.
“I always feel God remains good to me,” says Michael. “He continues to guide my footsteps. The best example might be when I was whisked off for a holiday on the Isle of Wight and had no idea that a change of career was incoming.”
Michael has always tried to follow God’s call as shepherd in his life and doing so has led to what he calls minor miracles and his mum calls God-incidences. This has led him to working in Norfolk, with children and young adults, where he always keeps the example of Jesus before him and is ready to hear his shepherd’s voice.
