CRCW Student - Vicky Longbone

Hi, I’m Vicky and have recently started training for CRCWministry.

I’m married to Tony and have a 12 year old son, Harry. We live in Wolverhampton in the Midlands, but I’m really a Southerner, and Tony a Northerner! We are very blessed in our lives here, surrounded by wonderful people, and very much supported by our church at Lea Road. We are all massively into Scouting which takes up a lot of our spare time, but at least it’s a family activity! Cub camp and Scout Camp mean we’re lucky enough to have 2 family holidays a year!

My placement is at Wednesbury Baptist Church, and I’m loving it! The church has a shared vision for community outreach work and there are some exciting things happening, especially the luncheon club we started in October which is flourishing and really pulling different parts of the community together.

I have found the academic side harder, but am now starting to settle into a routine and becoming more accepting of the fact that not every question has an answer! The staff at Luther King House have been amazing and guided me through the difficulties, and I am starting to relish the learning I have ahead of me.
I feel very blessed to be in this position, knowing that my actions are making a positive difference to others and I thank God every day for calling me to community ministry.

Much Love
Vicky x
