Pastor Jack Hayford, the former President of the Foursquare Church in Van Nuys, California, and pro-life advocate, has died<\/a> at age 88.<\/p>\n

As the founding pastor of The Church On The Way in Van Nuys, with the help of his wife Anna who predeceased him in 2017, Hayford grew the Pentecostal congregation from 18 to 12,000 by the time he retired in 1999. He then served as President of The International Church of the Foursquare Gospel from 2004 to 2009.<\/p>\n

The King’s University, which Hayford founded in 1997, shared details<\/a> of Hayford’s passing: “His family said he died peacefully in his sleep in the early hours of the morning, having eaten dinner with his wife, Valarie, and having spoken to one of his grandkids the evening.”<\/p>\n
