CLARE HAYWARD

Blaze - our church magazine will soon be published for May. Rita Clarke has submitted the following article on Clare Hayward, which we thought was worth a wider read:-

Clare was introduced to The Salvation Army when she was just four years old. The band played outside her house and Heather (Whitewood) spoke to her mum, Sara, and invited them to Parent and Toddlers. In time she came to Sunday School and Kings Club. As the years rolled on she decided she would like to become a doctor but that wasn't to be, and she felt very upset and angry with God about this. She worked hard at school and left with ten GCSE's and 2 A Levels. Her life changed dramatically when she went on the church retreat to the William Booth College. When she went to Soul Survivor amazing things happened and she felt God moving and got really excited. She is now 19 years old and is our childrens ministries officer. She has felt the call to train for full time ministry in the Salvation Army as an officer. She has a very supportive family. God Bless Clare.
