Okay, reading thru many different brother that Street Preach has motivated me alot.

Yet, I'm 'still on hold'. And God does that alot with me, im a GO GO GO GO GO GO GO kinda person. I'm still on hold and I'm not worried about it much because I know and God knows when im 'let go' things will happen.(many mightly things).

Before I go off and 'street preach' I will be ministering to the Jewish people first, and if you think this is 'wrong' listen to Art Katz's message [url=http://69.44.157.77/sermons/SID3122.mp3]To the Jew First[/url]

But, after that I WILL be Street Preaching. I'd like to personally to go that Evanglism Boot Camp, but I don't think I need that kinda thing.

So, thats why i made this thread. To ask all you 'street preachers' some advice.

What is the Law against Street Preaching in America.
What are some 'do's and donts' when you preach?
What are Great places to begin the preaching?
Should you always bring tracts?
Is their any need of a follow up, or is the purpose to just bring 'genuine repentance'.
And Also, what Exactually is the PURPOSE of Street Preaching.
Any recommened Sermons (audio/video) or devotionals on Street Preaching? (except 'Hells Best Kept Secret and True and False converstion, cause i know those..lol)
And any additional advice to give to me, in the beginning stages of doing this, because i will most likly be doing this by myself in the beginning.

Thanks, am I able to preach at the Movie Theaters? Like there are SOOOOO many kids there, and it's been the #1 spot in our area, over 100 kids are there. Perfect place, and my desire, there are like 10 cops there, so im wondering 'would i get arrested'.

And are they allowed to move me. 'away from the entrance'?

Rule of thumb: if it is a government owned piece of land with concrete, you are allowed to practice your first ammendment right there. There are various local ordinances that always come into play that vary from town to town, such as noise. Such places include sidewalks, parks, colleges, etc. Some sidewalks might actually be private property though, but, usually in my experience, such is not the case. I don't think most cops will just arrest you without some warnings, most will at least inform you of if you are preaching on public property or not. Whenever possible, try to comply with the officers as best as possible.

So, if im preaching at the Movie Theathers and Passing out CD's and tracts to everyone, and standing on my own 'box' (something to elevate me) how much confrontation do you believe that i will face?

It varies. Sometimes it will be great, sometimes people will act like you aren't even there.

Fantastic!

You allready mentioned Hells best kept secret yourself... On this site, there is a section with some videos of Way of the master. There is also one specific video on street preaching and a audio teaching (street preaching from a to z). Check it out: it is in the section called Ray Comfort.

Remember to follow the Holy Spirit in all you do and say and you'll do fine in Christ!

Best regards,

In Christ,

Ya, I definatlly follow the Holy Spirit, cause im 17 and really don't know all that much to witness to every human being, at times i say things that I think are stupid but ended up planted a good seed on furtle ground.

I'm used to witnessing one-on-one, just not to open-air/street preaching.

Thanks.

You have received some excellent advice already, I would like to add the following link to a well written article by R.A. Torrey that contains some very practical advice on open air preaching, it's well worth the read.
