Fire in our hearts - Jesus Army

FIRE IN OUR HEARTS
AWAKE O ZION!
Our life is ‘now’, eternal on the earth,
Although our steps much higher still will roam.
Why not then let your brother see his worth?
Don’t let us wait until he’s been called home.
1977 had seen conflict, but we were winning. The enemy
was on the run. Many more had caught the vision and joined
us, and opportunities for outreach were opening up. There
was even talk of planting a daughter congregation somewhere
not too distant. The new year was going to be a victorious
outflow to the regions, bringing the message of salvation and
brotherhood in Jesus.
By February 1978 we were in Leicester, holding a series of
meetings of ‘worship with the New Creation Christian Community’.
The trumpet of the kingdom was set to our lips — or
so we thought. But God had other plans to deepen and sweeten
our brotherhood. And oh, the cost! The third meeting at Leicester
saw a church stunned and broken in heart.
