FIRE IN OUR HEARTS
CITY ON A HILL
‘Right, chaps!’ said Pete. We clambered aboard and headed
for the A5. There’s Honeycomb Grange ahead!’ he said, as
we sped past the cattleyard at Shalom Farmhouse.
‘Sheepfold, Vineyard, and Praise Court are up on the left —
Cornhill and Festal are back up the A5 — and Highway House
and Living Stones are coming up!
‘How much houses are you now having?’ Anneke asked.
‘Well, there are two more in Northampton, one in Daventry,
four in Warwickshire, and one in Leicester...’
‘That’s ours!’ I said, as a yellow tipper went past. ‘The driver
used to be a guitar-teacher!’
‘There’s Weedon shop on the left,’ said Pete. The visitors
just caught sight of a GOODNESS FOODS sign. ‘They sell
health foods and our bread and farm produce.’
At Daventry we turned into the garage. Outside was a plumber’s
van with SKAINO SERVICES on the side.
Anneke frowned. ‘Skaino is a funny name.’
‘It’s from the Greek for tentmaking,’ I said. ‘It was Paul’s
trade which met his needs but left him free for ministry.’
‘Once our businesses are established, we intend to release
people regularly for evangelism,’ added Pete.
We walked in and stepped over a pair of oily legs.
‘Pete “Upright”!’
‘Umm?’
‘Bless you! He’ll soon get that on the road,’ I said.
‘Hopefully, bro!’ answered a muffled voice. We just had time
to watch Alan’s old busker-friend respraying a car, then Pete
urged us on.
‘Time for Goodness Foods, chaps!’
