      Isaac's primary calling over the years was as a pastor, but he derived his income from physical laborer.

      Isaac drew praise for his preaching work. While in Uniontown, he conducted revivals in mining towns in the coke region such as Oliver, Lemont Furnace, Mutual, Calumet, United and Moyer. One Methodist publication published this review:
      
      "A protracted meeting is going on at Revere. About or eight or ten already confessed and a great interest is manifested. Rev. I.H. Minard is carrying it on and is working hard for its success. Bro. Minard has others besides himself to also preach and help him in that work. Mr. Minard is to be complimented on its success and his labors are always given freely and without grudging."
      
      The Pittsburgh Christian Advocate pictured Isaac in an article and said that "in addition to his daily labor, as a mechanic, [he] renders valiant service in the mission. His zealous efforts contributed largely to the success of our enterprise at Oliver. He is now assisting in the work at Revere." He participated in the dedication of the Union Church in the McCormick Addition of Uniontown, PA, on July 11, 1899, mentioned in Haddon's 1913 A History of Uniontown.
  His occupation was Reverend in services for Hopwood United Methodist Church, in Hopwood, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, USA.
