Fay Clarke and Judy Knight
Fay & Judy are life-long friends and have been soldiers at Wellington South Corps for over 40 years.
They have co-led the Strathmore Women’s Bible Study group for over 10 years. Using Commissioner Debi Bell's, 'Upon These Altar Stones,' material has been exciting for them. The group has gained new and fresh understandings of the Old Testament as a result. They adapted the material to suit the make-up of their group and added in some extra ideas of their own.
Judy is passionate about Women’s Ministries and has been involved with such groups all her adult life. To see women grow spiritually is so rewarding for her and to know that God can use her in this way is humbling, yet exciting. It was getting involved in a Home Group in her Corps at Wellington South, which showed her that one of her God given ‘gifts’ is hospitality. This has proved to be such an enjoyable ‘gift’ for her as she has opened her home to women for Bible Studies as well as many other events. She enjoys Bible Study, crafts, reading, travelling, photography, cooking & family – especially her grandchildren. Now recently retired, but having worked in the Corporate world for nearly 30 years, God gave Judy her own 'Mission' field, right there in the work place, where she was able to support, help, mentor & pray with other staff in their times of need, with the approval and support of her Managers. Many of these still keep in touch, which gives Judy the privilege of being able to give on-going support.
Fay is passionate about ministry to women and has been involved in facilitation at many women's Corps camps, territorial and divisional conferences and events. She is currently employed at THQ in the Personnel Department and previously had a career in Education. Fay enjoys travel, reading, cafes and spending time with family and friends. Initially co-leading a home group was not on Fay's bucket list but she has enjoyed the challenge of finding appropriate material to use, and more importantly the joy of spending time with wonderful women, all keen to study God's word and grow spiritually together. Sharing joys and sorrows, praying with and for each other and speaking into lives has been such a privilege.
