We'd like to start hitting £1,000,000 a month; it would be good to spend £12,000,000 a year on housing homeless people. This year is looking very, very positive. We've already got 5 new partners on board; we're looking for another 5.

Jeff: Every time Jesus spoke there'd be people on the edge of the crowd who would have a bit of a grumble. I'm just putting on my Pharisee hat to say you can't help some of these people and they've brought it on themselves and they smell and swear. What do you say to them?

Pete: I'd say, Jesus said the whole of heaven rejoices over one sinner that repents. We're getting a few more than one sinner repenting. At the end of the day, if the job we're doing brought just one in a year that would be phenomenal. The church of Jesus Christ should be rejoicing over sinners coming to salvation and coming to know Jesus. We probably had 700, 800 people come to know the Lord last year, which is fabulous, isn't it?

Jeff: That's wonderful. Who wouldn't want to be involved with a group who are doing that?! CR
