Street Preaching

[Lily76_]

I live in Scotland and there is street peaching but very rare . Some churches offer tea's and coffees to people. We have Teen Challenge that helps anyone with addictions and homelessness. There are Christian rehabs etc., Churches open to the poor and needy, even helping people with mental health issues and money problems. Food banks warm spaces, hot food, children's activities, and baby and parent's group.
Refugees to help them learn English and even bible study in their language, some fleeing persecution for being Christian. . i got to recovery church every week , and i love being there and helping them out and really caring about people who like myself have had an addiction for most of their lives and recovering from that you feel supported and loved . Sometimes the smallest things can help someone to return or become Christians.

I think you may have meant "addictions" rather than "additions." (Not criticising - just to avoid misunderstanding)

I have been thinking about the current political claimte and how people are being cancelled and even killed for their views. Is street preaching or declaring the gospel in public now a dangerous occupation.

You're right. Many street preachers have been arrested in the UK in recent days. But every other religion is ok. Shocking. God Bless

No, it is me who needs to apologise. I should have noticed your signature, and I am so sorry that I didn't do so.

This is so true and so real. I think this is a great service Christians do and its a form of preaching. It speaks volumes as you say about loving people where they are at in the streets. Without a word said and often it is those who are helped who mention God because they have seen this in practice.

I am wonder if there is a need or there should be street preaching today. As there has been so much chaos in the world today do you think this is a time where perhaps the traditional street preaching should come back.

Some sort of calling out in the wilderness again. A call to repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand. Declaring Christ is saviour and the answer people are looking for. Re declaring and proving the gospel.

Not engaging in debates or arguements or politics. Just a simple redeclaration to ensure everyone hears the gossspel. As I think this is a fundemental way of comunicating the gospel instead of on social media on the internet.

Going back to the basics like in the early church and walking around preaching the gospel and Good news in the public squate like Paul did.
