I think so, it is normal to preach in the street because Jesus did it himself. it reveals that benefits, because in doing so, the hearts are touched by the message either immediately or later, a seed that is sown, will yield harvest.
a seed that is sown, will yield harvest.
Isaiah 60: 2 For, behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the peoples; but Jehovah will arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.I don't have a problem with, but I doubt it would be very effective, especially as hostility towards Christ and Christians continues to grow.
I would say it depends on how it is done. I knew a co-worker who was doing this. His approach was to
start preaching to one person and his voice was loud enough for anyone within 10 feet to hear what he was preaching. That was not to bad the bad part is he would pick a person stand in there face never give a chance for the person to ask anything or to say A word for 5 or 10 minutes while he kept preaching and there was not a second between the words. he did this to me once in a public place and I did not like it.
It made me feel singled out among the people that slowed to see and hear what was happening. he did not preach to a crowd that gathered t was one person even though many could see he had singled out me in this case.
Do you mean like Jesus,(Matthews chapters 4-7) John the Baptist,(Matt. 3:1-2) The Disciples (Acts 2:14-40) and Paul and Stephen (Acts 6:8-8:1) ?I think so, it is normal to preach in the street because Jesus did it himself. it reveals that benefits, because in doing so, the hearts are touched by the message either immediately or later, a seed that is sown, will yield harvest.
Hi Kodjoo and welcome to CF
Street ministry is all well and good as long as you are led of the Holy Spirit to guide you. The biggest thing is follow through as when Jesus walked and taught He didn't just leave when He was done speaking, but interacted with the people helping them with their needs. You can't just hand out a tract and say God bless you, you need to follow through by letting the people know you care and want to help them and direct them to the Churches in the area that they could attend and receive the help they need Spiritually and physically.

The one who is doing the preaching also needs to check out the churches in the area first to find one that is led of the Holy Spirit or check to see if there are any home Bible study groups that one could attend. You can't just say God bless you and then walk away as you need to be committed to those who might come to Christ by seeing the light of Christ shine through you. The commitment is to help them find a place to fellowship and grow in the word of God."Direct them to the churches?" They are the most dangerous places to send them. Most churches are not spiritual at all.......
If most churches are dangerous, where would you send them...to your place?"Direct them to the churches?" They are the most dangerous places to send them. Most churches are not spiritual at all.......

Yes, but nevertheless, They all preached out in the street or hills or by the waters. It is not that the religious did not believe, They did not want to give up their praises and high positions of the flesh. The common working Jew had no problem believing Jesus, but many of them were chastised by the Priest. (John 3:1-2) (John 12:42-44)Jesus performed miracles before them, and theystill would not believe?
