Chicago church takes prayer to the streets

Pastor Dewey: Does your Church take to the streets in your community? If not, why not? Are you stuck inside? What is God calling you to do? Yesterday Sharon and I had so much fun sharing the love of Jesus in Smiths supermarket here in Albuquerque! Do not be bashful about sharing JESUS! We should be the happiest people in the world and sharing the love of Jesus wherever we go? Do you?

The Baptist Press Reports:

CHICAGO (BP) — Phillip Griffin had an idea. Or what some might call more of an inspiration. The Men’s Sunday School teacher felt led by God to spend time outside of his church’s four walls on Sunday mornings. But not away from the church – on the church property itself.

For one hour every Sunday morning from 9:45-10:45 for the last three months, weather permitting, Griffin has sat in a lawn chair at the intersection of 82^nd and Cornell on the lawn of Faith Tabernacle Baptist Church on Chicago’s southeast side, waving and praying for people as they drive by. And, when given the opportunity, he’ll even pray with them. Often, the drivers offer him a smile and a wave, or sometimes a honk from their car horn, as he holds up a sign reading, “Stop to Pray/Stop for Prayer.” More Here
