Street preachers

[SeventhValley]

What are some good street preachers? Do you think street preaching is a good idea?

 

[98cwitr]

I think it's a great idea...takes the church to the people and not the other way around

I have thought about doing this some day but I need a model to go on. I have watched Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort but I am not sure about their anti-evolution based 10 commandment style.

I am looking for other street preachers people might know of to model my style off of.

I would think that most street preachers would be small time, unknown, and anonymous.

I recommend the Ezekiel Project. They have an excellent course in open air preaching using an illustration board. Here is a link to their site - Home | The Ezekiel Project, Inc.The Ezekiel Project, Inc.

Poor guy...I pray that the Lord keeps him enabled to do what brave preaching he is doing. I would rather hear him simply counter with scripture than arguing back with them.

Yes, you are right he dose not need to keep hyping the crowd up but just needs scripture. I do like his fire though

I quite like the 10-commandments way of doing evangelism but I would always say "we" rather than "you" when pointing out sin. "All have sinned" and all that...

Here's an interesting question for you: If the blood of Christ has covered our sin, why do we still acknowledge and rekindle that which has already been forgiven.

Not saying I disagree with you, as I too am a sinner.

From the videos I have seen, and as unfortunate as it is, I suggest you read up on local laws concerning what areas you can legally be at. Many of the videos I have seen end with the cops getting involved to try and move the preacher even when they are legally allowed to be there and to preach there. It's truly sad but be prepared for it. I pray you have great success and you lead many to our Lord and Savior. Please keep us up to date in your mission.

Tony Miano and Todd Friel are very good street preachers.

Romans 7 answers this better than I can:

"14 We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin. 15 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. 16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. 17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. 18 For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature.[c] For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19 For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do – this I keep on doing. 20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.

21 So I find this law at work: although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22 For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; 23 but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. 24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? 25 Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!

So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law, but in my sinful nature[d] a slave to the law of sin."

My past experiences with street preachers in college was disappointing. It essentially consisted of a guy yelling at passerbys in a public area of campus and pretty much condemning everybody for being sinful - even though he knew nothing about us personally. He got a lot of feedback from the coeds. People were annoyed and just wanted him gone. I live in a small community and we partner with a church in the heart of Atlanta each summer. We have a group of adults and youth go down, pass out water bottles and scriptures, and minister to the homeless in the area. A lot of those folks are honestly just looking for some compassion and someone to listen to their stories. Some of these folks get saved and end up attending the local church, where they can get assistance for housing, clothes, food, and work. Compassion seems to go a lot further than condemnation.
