GRANTS CASE STUDY - DANIELA EISENTRAEGER

Last year God challenged me to change my placement . After a time of discernment I followed God ’ s call and finished my two placements with the Hospital Chaplaincy and the Free-Evangelic Pentecostal Church and joined an Anglican Church with its two sister churches . It wasn ’ t an easy step as I was deeply rooted in my former church but this change gave me a whole lot more opportunities to preach , to lead and every so often to step out of my comfort zone .
The teaching at Moorlands gave me not only a deeper knowledge of the Bible , it also helped to improve my leadership and preaching skills that equipped me for my current job . Furthermore , the placements have provided many experiences which were a base for my further learning and development .
Studying at Moorlands College was one of the best experiences I have had in my spiritual journey so far . God taught me so much during these last three years . My trust in his faithfulness and providing hands deepened increasingly and his guidance lead me to the position I ’ m in now . I ’ m the new Lay Minister of the Parish of Holdenhurst , here in Bournemouth . Part of my role is the development of the church in line with the mission action plan of the diocese and to assist the priest in charge in his capacities as the leader of the three churches of the Benefice .
