Prior to law school, he had considered himself agnostic, but Isreb was on the journey for something more meaningful, not least for his growing family, so he enrolled at Trinity Law School. \u201cI knew that I wanted my children to be raised in some sort of religion.

It is night and day.\u201d\u00a0 Isreb has become a student who is intentional about his education. He volunteered to lead extracurricular groups like the Christian Legal Society (CLS) and will be attending the CLS Conference at the end of October. He faithfully attends church, and Isreb is determined to grow more like Christ every day. Recently, he participated in a weekend-long Men\u2019s Retreat called &#8216;Man Camp&#8217; where he was baptized along with his new brothers in Christ.\u00a0 Isreb also works as a student recruiter within the Admissions department which provides him with an opportunity to share his experience at Trinity with incoming students.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-post-9729 wp-image-622 size-medium aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/doetd2kiw\/images\/v1702073703\/trinity_newsroom\/Martin-Leigh-Anne-e1632422636407\/Martin-Leigh-Anne-e1632422636407.jpg?_i=AA\" alt=\"Martin Isreb and Leigh Anne Izquirre\" data-public-id=\"trinity_newsroom\/Martin-Leigh-Anne-e1632422636407\/Martin-Leigh-Anne-e1632422636407.jpg\" data-format=\"jpg\" data-transformations=\"f_auto,q_auto\" data-version=\"1702073703\" data-seo=\"1\" data-responsive=\"1\" data-size=\"300 262\" data-delivery=\"upload\" data-cloudinary=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Assistant Director of Admissions Leigh Anne Izaguirre along with the other staff at Trinity have mentored Isreb. Izaguirre said, \u201cMartin continues to ask deep spiritual questions surrounding his new faith in Jesus. I hired him for his tireless work ethic, excellent questions, and willingness to push himself beyond what was expected of him. I knew he was going to make a great addition to our admissions team.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 Through working as a student recruiter and around campus, Isreb is able to share his faith with new students and his peers. \u201cLaw is such a dry field, but my best memory is seeing everyone\u2019s smiling faces when I enter the building.\u201d On-campus, people are able to see God\u2019s light shine through Isreb as he encourages all those around him.
