QUESTIONS
Jesus Life asks a Jesus radical just four questions. Chris Gilbert
lives at House of Miracles, a Jesus Fellowship community house
on ‘Blackthorn’ a deprived estate on the outskirts of Northampton.
34 Jesus Life
WHAT DO you say if someone from the
Blackthorn estate asks, “What’s life
all about?”
Life is about taking hold of Jesus’ example,
looking at how He lived and working it out today.
It’s about expressing God’s love to the people we
meet and reconnecting people back to God.
You’ve made a vow to be single all your life.
What’s that all about?
In today’s increasingly busy society being single
seems the best way to give all of myself to God
and His Church. I’m totally available to serve and
give to the people we meet.
You say “we” a lot. Tell me about “House of
Miracles”.
At House of Miracles we want to demonstrate
and show practical Christianity. Not an aloof,
“sitting-in-church-pews-style” church. We like to
hang around with the people and for the people.
People from the estate often come round to
our house because they know we’ll help them.
They’re part of our everyday life; they’re on our
doorstep. Whether it’s helping them move house
or making up food parcels we want to be there
for them.
What’s your dream?
I’d like to see a church relevant to today’s
needs, able to meet these with God’s solutions.
I’d like to see the church becoming the place
with the answers people are looking for –
never judgemental, but a place of welcome, a
sanctuary for every kind of person.
