Fire in our hearts - Jesus Army

New Creation Chaos
1974-75
Arriving back home at the Hall, Dave got a shock when he
flushed the loo. The lead pipes had been ripped out and stolen
while we were away! The lead had also gone from the
roof and the rain came in. Nevertheless, we had big plans for
this ‘discipleship centre’ and people were coming from all
over to visit the Jesus Mansion at Bugbrooke.
Mark was an ex-biker who’d been converted from the Cheltenham
drug scene. There he kept getting an impression of a
large house with a veranda where Christians shared together.
Not having a clue where this was, he made his way to London.
After a few weeks he told the Lord he would have to give
up his search, but that afternoon he met a girl who told him
about a chapel near Northampton that sounded interesting.
Mark rang the police. It was his last 10p.
‘Oh, you mean Bugbrooke!’ they said, and gave directions.
