Faith

Faith Hope and Enterprise: it’s a smart title for an equally smart outfit.

Mick with that cherished chainsaw

Sited on part of the old ancestral Meynall Langley Estate, Faith Hope and Enterprise is a Christian organisation which sets out to turn lives around.

It succeeds, too, as Mick would testify. His full name : Michael Daniel Lairikkala testifies to his Finnish descent.

He was able to recover here from decades of drug addiction, while learning organic farming and survival skills.

Mick’s become a convinced Christian himself, with an interesting take on his woodcraft exams: “If God wants me to get my chainsaw licence, I’ll get my chainsaw licence”.

He’s undeterred despite having to postpone taking the relevant exam :  our Finn injured his eye as part of his Viking exploits – another passion!

The organic fruit and vegetables, the turkeys, chickens and geese are all sold to help support the enterprise: that word doesn’t appear in the title for nothing! 

The team may be Christians, but the doors are open to people of all beliefs or none.

They’ll provide the Hope for those who will join in the Enterprise - and who knows what part Faith might ultimately play in the equation.
