Towards the end of my studies I was recommended to a church in the West of England,looking for a pastor. I visited and preached and visited again with my wife and five month son. On my leaving College a two bedroomed Council house became available in my home town. We actually moved into it,but did not pay the carpets or get too settled,as we were waiting for the church to decide,whether they wanted us for the pastorate or not. There were two other candidates and a church vote needed. After six weeks it was informed us that the church had unanimously voted for us and we were invited to the pastorate. I was 26 years old. My wife 23 years old.
