A small group from my church is Opinions on street evangelism? planning to go out soon to do street evangelism and I kinda agreed without really thinking about it. I suppose I felt like I just should’ve
The thing is that I’m not sure if I like the concept. I think that if God wanted someone to come to him then he’d set pieces in place to draw them in. Trying to go out to random people and just going “Hey do you know God? You should repent now!” Feel more like interfering and forcing God onto people
Like I’ve seen a few clips of those “Christian Youtubers” who do things like that and honestly I get embarrassed from watching. If you’re gonna approach someone and take time out of their day then you should respect them and know when to stop.
Plus I’m pretty introverted aeound strangers and I don’t like going up to people unless I have to😭

I have never met a street preacher/team that didn’t feel gross. Honestly, in the west everyone knows christ. If you want to change some negative connotations about the/your church, I would recommend doing charity work that doesn’t require recipients to be Christian/from your church to receive.
I think it depends a lot on how it is done. Though cultures will of course vary a bit between countries, there is a group in my city that hands out coffee and waffles on the street, and only preaches to those who ask/are interested. It is amazing how well these sort of things can work if you avoid telling random people on the street they are wrong, and instead show that you are there because you care about them.
It’s always super cringe and never converts anyone
