ENFIELD Kasey Williams was welcomed as an adherent after moving to the area and seeking out a Salvation Army corps. In her youth Kasey was a junior soldier at Burnt Oak and Harrow until a crisis of faith when she was 20. She shared a beautiful testimony of how God had brought her back to faith and provided a spiritual home and a sense of belonging. She became involved with the weekly Connect group and, after prayerful contemplation, decided to take a step of faith and become an adherent. Kasey believes that God has a plan to use her to bring others to him. She is pictured with corps officers Majors Glenn and Sharen Furlong. – SF
