Tweets, testimonies and town-by-town change? What will Les Isaac come up with next?
In more detail than his first book Street Pastors, he goes back to the beginnings of the initiative on the streets of Brixton, even before the Ascension Trust and Street Pastors
became a known charity. His heart for evangelism in his community, is clear from the start, and anyone wanting to make an impact for Jesus, where they live, can learn a lot from this man's compassion.
Split into four sections, each one with a 'The night I meet a Street Pastor' testimony, lays out the reason, the calling, the practicality and the outworking of the ministry.
Getting our hands dirty is Les' call and numerous scriptures illustrating this lace the chapters. The church in action, working together, crossing social boundaries and
lowering denominational walls... all these things are brought about by passionate, committed, trained individuals wanting to make their towns and cities a safer place when the 'night-time economy' comes out to play.
Relevant 'tweets', sprinkled through the book, bring short, sharp focus on the results of long nights of serving. Practical details of setting up a local Street Pastors charity are here, with links to various other 'hands-on' organisations. As a Street Pastor myself, I thoroughly recommend this book, but beware... it comes with considerable challenge—to walk and/or pray into the early hours!
