For
almost 30 years now, and after over 63 arrests in three different
countries for preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ in the open air,
and constantly working with many street preachers facing constant
arrests and imprisonments for “walking worthy of the vocation
wherewith ye are called” (Ephesians 4:1), it has been our
constant desire, and also the constant request of Federal Judges,
Supreme Court Judges, lawyers and most street preachers, to organize
a world wide fellowship, and standards institute for establishing
both Biblical and Judicially recognized standards of ministerial
conduct of the Open Air Evangelists. The open air street evangelist
has from God, the calling (1 Corinthians 1:25-27/ 4:9, 10) in the
ministry that is without exception, the most controversial aspect
of the New Testament gospel ministration. Such a fellowship must
needs be not just for establishing recognizable standards from both
Biblical standing (Ephesians 6:10-14), but also for Judicially recognized
standing in the Courts of Justice, which the Judges will be compelled
to recognize, uphold and protect as a God called vocation of Biblical
and Constitutional proportions. Such judicial standing demands not
just the establishment of standards, but also the training and educating
of members to follow such standards.
Hence, the Street Preachers’ Fellowship has been organized
for the voluntary, and active fellowship, assistance and education
of Street Preaching Ministers of God Almighty from all over the
world, who are actively engaged in not just preaching the gospel
of Jesus Christ, but who have the courage and character to warn
a wicked world of the penalty and judgment of sin. Such men of God,
possessing the character of “the express image” of God’s
person (Hebrews 1:3) are constantly approving themselves the ministers
of God “in prisons more frequent” (2 Corinthians 6:4,5/
11:23) as this wicked nation and world demonstrate their hatred
of God (Romans 1:30) in conflicts and confrontations with the street
preaching lovers of God, who will not compromise or shut about Jesus
Christ.
For three decades, the street preaching minister of Christ often
found himself all alone, fighting a losing battle against authorities
bent on silencing his open witness and continual preaching. When
we first began preaching in the streets of America some 28 years
ago, there were not enough men of God actively doing so, to even
attempt to organize. And though the judges of the higher courts
constantly advised the few that did to join ranks, Why organize
7 men? But today, God has raised up a formidable army of street
preaching fanatics, that are tired of the death tolling silence
of 95% of Christian ministers who have confined the preaching of
the gospel behind four walls while sin runs rampant in the streets
of our communities. And hundreds of them are ready to help one another
like nothing before, and with Bibles in hand, and signs following,
they are joining ranks for the common cause of preaching the gospel
of Jesus Christ to every creature, as mighty men of God, “and
terrible as an army with banners” (Song of Solomon 6:10).
The Fellowship’s goals are to structure and assist each member
in the fulfillment of that purpose. Already, the battle is being
drawn, and the fight is on in numerous places across America, as
God fearing street preachers grow tired of the last ten years of
pathetic excuses from the cowards for Christ, who have taught that
the street preacher has to obey man rather than God to maintain
some Laodecian ministerial reputation of men pleasing, ecclesiastical
effeminacy. From the beginning of the church, the scriptures have
been clear that “We ought to obey God rather than man”
(Acts 5:29). Let the cowards of Christ rail on, as the men of God’s
calling preach on! If you have the calling from God, and the courage
and character to keep preaching regardless of the costs, the Street
Preachers’ Fellowship has a place for you. When the conflict
grows, it is our Creed as Street Ministers to be there with you.
Come try us, and see what God will do.
