HAT HARWOOD
When did
you become a Christian?
When I was 6. It was a Sunday
morning and I heard my rents
praying and asked them what they
were doing…and then I prayed
that God would come into my
life…and I’ve never seen my dad
so proud!
When were
you baptised (water & spirit)?
I was baptised in water when I
was 12, which my best friend.
And I was baptised in
spirit…Probably the same year at
a youth camp
What is
your favourite place to chill?
My rents house infront of the tv
playing sims or facebooking!
What are
you doing with your time at the
moment?
At the moment I’m trying to
clean up the church office and
the Smithy, which is proving a
very difficult task!
What do
you enjoy doing in your spare
time?
Exercise, painting, writing,
singing, playing games
What do you
plan to do after this year?
Either go to Uni, or to a third
world country. I’m leaving it
up to God
What do you
think is the most important
quality a youth leader should
have?
Be able to have a friendship
with the youth, but also, to be
a shining light
What do you
think the worst characteristic a
youth leader could have?
Not putting the youth first
Where do you
think Cowfold’s youth group is
“going” this year?
I think it’s going to grow,
friendships will be built, and
the youth will become shining
lights to friends
What do
people need to do to come to
youth?
Get in touch with any of the
youth leaders (hat@weald.org)
or look at the youth programme
online and turn up…you will be
more than welcome and your
bravery will be very much
noticed!

JAK HOLLAND
When did you
become a Christian?
Being brought up in a Christian
family, I think that becoming a
Christian is the point at which
your faith becomes your own and
not just your parents. That was
a slow process for me, taking
about a year or so when I was
12/13. I had a very good youth
leader and I experienced God at
Soul Survivor in ways that I
will never forget.
What’s your
favourite food?
I love food! Chinese or an
Indian takeaway has to be the
best. But then I love most meat
and wedges are tasty too.
When were
you baptised (water & spirit)
and who baptised you in water?
I was
baptised on July 1st
2007 in Henfield by Simo (my old
youth leader) and my dad. I
think I was first filled with
the spirit when I was 12 or 13
at Soul Survivor.
What is the
place you feel most relaxed?
Watching a film sitting in an
armchair next to the fire.
What do you
plan to do after this year?
Probably go to University to
study psychology and eventually
become a psychologist.
How long have
you been a youth leader and what
do you do to be the best youth
leader you can be?
I have been a youth leader for
over two years now and try my
best to listen to what the youth
group is telling me about how it
is going and what they think
about our leadership.
Who are
the top two influences in your
life?
In my life Simo (my old youth
leader) has probably been one of
the greatest influences. At the
moment it is probably Andrew
Wilson, his teaching on the
mission of God has heavily
impacted my thinking over the
last 6months.
Who can come
to Youth Group and how?
Youth is normally on a Wednesday
night, we normally follow the
format of; two weeks of group
discussion about all sorts
Christian issues and then one
week we have a “social” evening.
Any one from year 7 to year 13
is more than welcome to come.
Just looks at our programme on
the youth website and turn up.
It would probably be easier to
come on a social evening so you
can get to know everyone but it
is totally up to you.
