President & CEO

The Rev. Dr. Isaac I. Ihiasota, the President & CEO was ordained a Deacon in the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion) on December 19, 1976; and a Priest on June 29, 1978. He received his theological education at Trinity Theological College, Umuahia, Abia State, Nigeria. Father Isaac also earned a Diploma in Theology degree (Dip. Th) from the University of London, England, in 1977.

In 1981, Father Isaac traveled to England to study theology and philosophy at the Chichester Theological College, an Anglo-Catholic theological college in the Church of England. He has continued to attend continuing education programs regularly at two other Anglo-Catholic theological colleges in the United Kingdom: Westcott House at Cambridge University; and St Stephen's House at Oxford University, England. 

In January 1984, Father Isaac, his wife and their three months old son, traveled to the United States to study at Michigan State University (MSU), East Lansing, Michigan. Father Isaac graduated with a Dual Bachelor of Arts degree (BA) in 1986 in Telecommunication and Political Science; a Master of Arts degree (MA) in 1988 in Political Science; and a Doctor of Philosophy degree (PhD) in Political Science in 1994.

From 1988 to 2017, Father Isaac traveled to Nigeria on short-term medical mission trips, thirteen (13) times! Each time, he traveled with donations, support and prayers of his former and present parishioners, colleagues and friends. 

In 2017, Father Isaac met by accident (by providence, really) Dr. Julius Nwosu, the President and CEO of Community Healthcare Network-NG. Dr. Nwosu persuaded and convinced Father Isaac to join him on a medical mission program. In July 2018, they traveled together on their first mission program with Franklin Jr. Foundation, USA, a New York based medical group.

After fourteen (14) medical mission trips, Father Isaac founded and formed Father Isaac's Foundation, Inc. It was established as a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit, non-governmental, public charity organization, in April 2019. The foundation provides healthcare free of charge to the poor and less privileged, who have no access to primary healthcare services. It has continued Father Isaac's humanitarian philanthropic mission work of hope, life-saving and life-giving, that he started nearly 35 years ago!

Father Isaac has served in several churches in the Anglican Church in Nigeria; the Anglican Church of England in the United Kingdom; and in The Episcopal Church, USA. He has also taught at several colleges and universities in the United States in Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, New Jersey, and New York.

Currently, Father Isaac is the Priest-in-Charge of Saint Stephen's Episcopal Church, Niagara Falls, and a former adjunct professor of Political Science at Niagara University, Lewiston, New York.

Father Isaac has five (5), now grown-up children and three (3) grandchildren.
