Chris Hayward

For over two decades, Chris Hayward faithfully served as President of Cleansing Stream International (CSI), following 17 years of dedicated pastoral ministry. Under his leadership, CSI became recognized as one of the most far-reaching ministries of inner healing and deliverance, impacting more than a million lives across 36 nations and partnering with over 7,000 churches worldwide. Chris’s heart has always been guided by the calling of Isaiah 58:12—to be a “repairer of the breach” and a “restorer of the streets to dwell in.” This mission has shaped CSI’s unique, church-centered approach, empowering and equipping thousands across the globe to walk in wholeness and freedom. Chris is also the author of two impactful books: God’s Cleansing Stream and The End of Rejection—each offering hope and insight to those navigating personal or spiritual pain. Currently based in Fort Worth, Texas, he and his wife Karen, who have been married for over 55 years, enjoy a rich family life with their three children and six grandchildren.
