BOGNOR REGIS: Family and friends supported Kenton Batley, Samantha Bottwood and Sue Mcdonald as they were enrolled as soldiers by Divisional Commander Major Mark Herbert. Kenton started attending the corps two years ago after an invitation from a friend and became involved in community work. Samantha first linked up with the corps seven years ago when she and her children attended Messy Church. They were invited to an Easter meeting and have been attending ever since. Sue met corps therapy dog Evie and Major Alexandra Hughes at a hospital while visiting her mother. Sue liked Evie’s Facebook page and eventually decided to join the corps pop-up community choir. She felt so welcome that she made a decision to follow Jesus. Jayden Vincent was also enrolled as a junior soldier by corps officer Major Sarah Butler. Jayden read out the junior soldier’s promise, making his family proud. – AH
