Charlotte:
My career started in entertainment. Starting as a Redcoat at Butlins, I moved
onto the entertainment team onboard cruise ships and then a party host in leisure centres. At this
time I found myself living in Australia, searching for something that was missing in my life.
Something that I couldn't verbalise. I found this something in Christ at a Hillsong's church
meeting. I returned home and after a few months of embracing God's word and letting him take
control of my life, He blessed me with a new job and much more. My mission and purpose was finally
becoming clear. I always wanted to make a difference in peoples lives, help them to feel better
about themselves and feel more positive. Whilst working at in the leisure centre I was given the
opportunity to train as a gym instructor and I very quickly completed a personal training
qualification. I taught in the gym for a year instructing spin, dance, legs bums and tums,
mature movers, teenagers, combat, boxercise, hulacise and my own personal training clients.
It was a time of encouragement and blessing, and I met my fiancé Matthew. My God given vision
for fiternal's future, is to work more with broken lives. Those who have been abused, have
eating disorders, substance problems or have suffered neglect.
Matthew:
I've always had a creative spirit, and a desire to find God's purpose in my life. This
has led me to many places, initially working in publishing, before moving into corporate graphic
design. After several years I felt a similar call to that of Charlottes, and I took a break from
my career to work with various Christian charities around the world. After a couple of years I
returned to full time work in pharmaceutical advertising. When Charlotte shared her vision with
me I was keen to help and support her however I could. Naturally I was drawn to creating a look
and name for the company. With the core values of the business being Christ's heart for His people,
and Charlottes desire to give lasting advice to her clients, I eventually stumbled into fiternal. A
simple combination of fitness and eternal. A created word that sums up the vision of fiternal ltd.
fiternal ltd is a Christian company and our mission is with adults, children, youths and families.
We both have a heart for mission abroad and outreach in the community. In 2012 fiternal will be taking
a team out to Uganda (Africa), to teach sports, help build an orphanage, work in the school and help
in the babies home. fiternal's goal is to make a real and lasting difference in people's lives. Sharing
our knowledge of healthier more active living and creating more positive family lifestyles for life and
beyond.
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw
off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance
the race marked out for us. Hebrews 12:1 |
