The student and volunteer

JIN SHIL Um comes from Korea. She started conversation classes in the London Jesus Centre in May, the following month began volunteering herself in the Word tea room, and now she’s moved in to the Battlecentre community house to start a Jesus Army Training Year.

“I had never seen Christian people living together, sharing all things. It looks very beautiful and I think it is very close to Jesus’ way. Many Christian people say they want to follow Jesus, but not really in action. I think the community house is a very good base. It’s like a greenhouse – more concentrated – where I can grow up more as a Christian.

“In conversation class we learn lifestyle and common expression. Every time Mhairi prepares a situation or subject and we concentrate on that. When we talk together we get to know each other more every week and we know about each other’s country and culture, and English culture too. One lady already got a job because she now has more confidence in her English.

“Now I live in London and my church is the Jesus Fellowship. I volunteer in the Jesus Centre – it’s the natural thing to do. “God has shown me how people can live in the world together helping each other.”
