September 7 was a day of great thanksgiving and rejoicing at Little Hill Church, Wigston, as Joshua Harrison was inducted as the pastor-teacher.
John Eardley, an elder, spoke of the gratitude to God for the faithful ministry of many throughout the years of waiting for a pastor and the way in which the church had experienced a remarkable sense of unity, love, vision and growth.
Joshua had been a member of the church since 2010 and became an elder earlier in 2013. His conviction of a call to the ministry came through his daily Bible readings where Joshua was told to be strong and courageous.
