Why focus on the next generations? With Isabella Senior // S2:12
Isabella is a young adult with a passion. She tells Nick all about saying yes to the call of God aged 15 to 'go' which ended with her becoming a 'reverse missionary' from Brazil to the UK, reaching Generation Z for Christ. Today she has a national role to empowering her peers in Baptist churches to become disciples and impact the nation. Isabella shared an encouraging picture of the spiritual climate and passion amongst the new generations in the UK.
