Saturday night was a real eye opener for me. I have seen videos of street preachers, but being on hand as Ricky (repentcanada) Ryan, Lewis, and Jeremy shared their faith on the mean streets of Edmonton was shocking. The darkness, and depravity revealed in the people passing by was surprising to me.
For the most part, the people passing our corner at Whyte Ave and 103 Street were 20-25 year old college types. Most rushed by, some accepted tracts, and a good number of them stopped to listen for a moment, and some just wanted to rant, and cuss out Ricky.
Ricky did a good job, and was very calm and focused throughout the night. There were several people that had 1 on 1's with the team, and I thought it was a good night, and even managed to hand out a dozen or so tracts.
Looking forward to this Saturday, and my appreciation for the job that street preachers do has increased dramatically.
Blessings Greg
