If you’ve been around the blog for a while, you might remember my friend Michael Coughlin, who’s written some great guest posts for me. Recently, Michael alerted me to a fantastic little series of videos about open air (or “street”) preaching. If you’ve ever wondered what’s involved with this kind of ministry, the gentlemen in these five brief (most are 7-8 minutes; the longest is under 11 minutes) videos will share their hearts with you and fill you in.
There are many ways women can be involved in open air ministry, as well. There are often bystanders who need someone to share the gospel with them or answer their questions one on one. You can also hand out tracts or invitations to your church and pray for the open air preacher and those who are listening to him. Tony Miano over at Cross Encounters Ministries has written a helpful resource about women and open air preaching called, Should She Preach? – Biblical Evangelism for Women.
Give these videos a viewing. I hope you’ll enjoy and learn from them as much as I did. And be sure to share with friends and those in your church who might be interested in starting up an open air ministry.
