Question
Do I need to be licenced or anything like that to be a street preecher ? I know God has put it on my heart to help the homeless and hurting. But I don't want to break aney laws about that.

Answer
Hi Erik,

I am not sure exactly where you are.

In the Uk many people go out onto the streets preaching the Word of God, and if God has given you this mission and ministry then you must use it. You have been chosen by the Lord to do this work.

You have been tasked by Himself to help the homeless and the hurting, so you must do so.

And I for one will pray for you as start this ministry.

God Bless

Expertise

I can answer most questions on the subject of the Baptist/Christian faith. I am an active member of a Baptist Church Fellowship. I study the Bible and the Scriptures every day and have no problem talking to people about this. I am more than happy to answer the Lord's calling and help and support all people that are in need. I believe that is now my role in life.

Experience

Some times people go the wrong way in life because they have been let down by those that are close to them. It is all about trust, compassion and support. I carry out a lot of outreach work, so I know how important these things are to be able to reach people. I have worked with drug addicts and the homeless, as well as young people who have lost their way in life or are in prison.

My articles and letters have appeared many times in the local paper.

I am am a Deacon and secretary of my church, and also spend lots of time now also ministering to people in old folks homes as well as other outreach work.

Past/Present Clients
I do not call them clients, they are people in need of the love of God and of people. I have mentored many young people, including those that are in our local prison, to hopefully live an honest and Christian life.
