Almighty God reaches out beyond
the borders of our human understanding and calls the most unlikely people to
do the most incredible things. To this end, I (minister Tom Hayden) serve in
the position of Founder and President of
Kingdom Network Ministries, Int. and author of
Kingdom News.
It seems like only yesterday
when Christ came into my life, but so did the question. You know, the one we
all ask God when we get saved, " What am I called to do in your kingdom
Lord?" When He said, " Tom, I have called you to be an Apostle" I was not
shocked but instead inquired where I can go to school for this. He only
laughed. In 1982 there was no Apostle's school nor were there any Apostles
that I had ever heard of, except in the scriptures. In 1985 I was
introduced to the prophetic through Dr. Bill Hamon, Emanuel Canastraci, Glen
Foster and Jim Salvador, while attending services at, The Rock Church of
Virginia Beach, Virginia. I actually still have the notes from Dr. Hamon's
classes. I thank God for the influence of these great men and countless
others with whom I have crossed paths. It seems my life has been groomed and
is still being manicured for such a time as this. It has been 20 years since
the day He told me what my true identity was, and kept me secret until
now. Apostles are now among us and the unfolding revelation of who we are
and our roles in present day society is still unfolding. Accepting the
calling of Apostle can be received with mixed feelings, by yourself and
others that have known you. To know that you were called from the womb to do
this is one thing, but men will not always accept you as they tend to look
at the outward appearances. Jesus was not accepted in his own home town, nor
was Paul looked at as someone who had anything to say. God looks at a man's
heart and life and says: " I can use this". However, men too often say: "can
God use that"?
"Truly, many are called, but
few are chosen."
Thomas Hayden's Biography:
Tom's passion for his heavenly
father is evident as he shares about the God of our salvation. He may
enthusiastically tell what God's overcoming power has done to get him out of
deep occult involvement, heavy drug and alcohol/tobacco abuse, growing up in
a life of violence (street gangs, alcoholic father), and several life
threatening health problems and diseases. Tom is blind in one eye and
presently wears an ileostomy which he has had since he was 15 years old.
With over twenty -one surgeries and three actual death experiences by 19
years of age, Tom had seen enough life for ten people. Before his conversion
there were multiple suicide attempts, which landed him in the hospital a few
times.
His non-Christian marriage was also plagued by his wife's promiscuity,
occult and alcohol abuse.
Raised a Catholic, Tom was very
far off track from the God of his childhood. He was encouraged to watch and
mock the PTL club by a close friend, who was a new age priestess in a
mystical temple. It was during this time that Tom's dramatic conversion
happened. The wages of sin is death and even though salvation came to him
Tom was to lose many things shortly.
Demonic attacks, divorce and loss of his children were just some of the
things. Four years after his conversion Tom was shunned by his one and
only church for being divorced, and was forbidden to continue on his course
of ministerial studies. The newly formed cell church in Cape Cod,
Massachusetts was denied him. Tom's faith was shattered and the question
that plagued him was, " The world didn't want me because I became a
Christian and now the church doesn't want me either, Where am I to go and to
whom can I turn?"
Tom's quest for truth, and to
understand the God of his salvation, started way back then, and continues on
today. His life is a marvelous journey and has been a constant testimony of
what one man can face and overcome when he becomes not just a partner, but a
son of God.
He has worked in the street ministry ,Christian coffee houses and chased
crack addicts in the midnight hour. He has held dying people in his arms and
done jail ministry. Visited hospitals and nursing homes, sang in storefronts
and mission houses. He has married people, buried people and baptized
people, in water and in tongues. He was and still does missionary work. He
was an assistant pastor, and has served as an evangelist. Every function
between childcare to the pulpit has has been performed and inspected by his
Heavenly Father and until now Tom has heard, "Great job my good and faithful
servant" Truly, with heavenly accolades comes earthly and heavenly
promotions, and gifts.

When the Lord saw it was time,
He gave Tom the best gift a man could have besides salvation, his wife of 9
years Lynn Hayden.
Their marriage was an act of obedience from the beginning, and so being
prophetic, Tom not only saw Lynn as gift from God but knew that his destiny
was linked to hers. Within 6 short months of their honeymoon in 1994, that the Lord spoke
to them and the ministry of Dancing For Him was birthed into the earth
realm. Tom, formerly being an evangelist was already accustomed to doing
public promoting, but this was dance. The Lord was developing a team out of
them where there formerly was no team. Tom had to submit all that he had
ever learned to handle this and be willing to be taught by is beautiful
bride. He had dual roles as servant to the ministry and Lynn while being the
head administrator. Many people saw him as her servant, but God was developing His character all the while. It has
been many years since the inception and they are still growing and serving each
other. Tom is totally sold out to see that his beautiful bride and
co-laborer succeed in all that she does. She is now doing for him what he
did, as his roles and public profile increase. They are enamored with each
other as gifts from God and love each other above their own lives. They
continue to maintain and fit in new growth as the Lord of Hosts is ever
increasing their anointing. Their covenant relationship to each other and
the their ministry is unbreakable, as many have found out. Together he says
they are unbeatable.
