The Revd Les Isaac OBE is the founder and president of Ascension Trust and he pioneered the Street Pastors initiative in 2003.
Born in Antigua, Les was a Rastafarian involved in London's gang scene before he became a Christian. He went on to work as a church leader for over twenty years, always seeking to engage with the same hard-to-reach communities that he came from.
In recognition of the contribution that Les has made to society, he was awarded an OBE by her Majesty the Queen and has recently been appointed as an honorary Ecumenical Canon at Southwark Cathedral. He is the author of Faith on the Streets (Hodder Faith).
The Zimbabwe National Anglican Fellowship (Zinafe) is part of the Anglican Communion and the Church of England.
