Street preachers. Brings back childhood memories. Summer time on our Brooklyn street corner. We used to sit on the curb and listen to them.

Now that brings back memories. In 2000, I was street preaching in Coney Island to Jewish Russian expatriates. It was going well until about 6-7 Rabbis showed up and began screaming at me in Russian. I opened my Russian bible and started quoting from Isaiah. That went over very well and eve=n their wives got into the screaming match at me. This lasted for about 30 minutes and they got disgusted and left, leaving me all alone on the street.

One young man, recently arrived from Ukraine, actually approached me and asked if I was Christian, and could I suggest a good church in the area. We got at least one visitor from all that. :)
