FIRE IN OUR HEARTSON THE MARCHaggression against the devil. A meeting was held for underthirties(plus a bit over) and Operation Mark was born. (Markhad been a zealous young disciple of Jesus.)We printed leaflets:OPERATION MARK!A RESISTANCE MOVEMENT OF HOLY REBELS! WANTED:500 young men and women:* committed to Jesus Christ* alive with the enthusiasm of the Spirit* ready to be Jesus commandos and fight the sins thatare degrading the youth of England!Our weapons were the love of Jesus and the word of God, andduring marches the ‘rebels’ carried crosses and Bibles. REBELFOR JESUS stickers appeared and the logo showed a figurewith raised Bible and cross. Operation Mark ‘rebels’ promisedto live for Jesus and be loyal disciples and inspired personalities.They were to accept trials and never give in, gainothers for Christ, and actively witness to their faith.Songs appeared: ‘We are at war!’ and, ‘I’m revolting!’Nathan put, ‘I’m a rebel for Jesus, from head to toe!’ to arock tune! Some made waistcoats with a red cross and REBELFOR JESUS on the back. Ian, the solicitor, was like Superman.When he got home from the office, he threw off his pinstripes,donned his ‘rebel’ waistcoat, and went out evangelising.One night, as he was talking to people in a pub, he beganto feel very warm. Someone had set his waistcoat alight!261
