"SPREADING FLAME", the Jesus Fellowship community house in Acton was established a fairly long time ago, but we experienced a restart when our other house "Battlecentre" moved from down the road to Central London. It took time to find our feet and work out the new pattern of relationships.

Our evangelism is proving very fruitful; in particular, we've met many young men. They in turn have been finding Jesus and the family of God, along with restoration, forgiveness, love, friendship – and a cause to live for. It's been like dominoes as one after another is baptised, joining the brotherhood.

Some of them are Eastern Europeans: a good opportunity for some of us to use our Russian or Polish. Learning to communicate in different languages is loads of fun and immigrants really value being welcomed and made to feel at home.

Last year we met and baptised a lot of young Koreans. Although most of them have gone back to Korea now, we are still in touch and they are sending friends to us for training in Christian discipleship.

We have a good team from many cultures and backgrounds; a real 'new creation' family!.
