An Insight into the work of Street Pastors by Luke Randall and Sue Shaw

Whether offering a listening ear to a vulnerable clubber, mentoring a troubled teen, giving food to a homeless person or responding to a national emergency, Street Pastors are making a significant difference in communities across the UK and beyond.

This book, with incredible and, in some cases, life-saving stories, celebrates their work, which has been credited with saving police and NHS time and money, reducing crime and improving neighbourhoods.

Description

In these days when many people are concerned for their own and their loved ones’ safety and health, what would move someone to walk the streets late at night to help strangers? Street Pastors are Christian volunteers from all denominations who willingly stay out until the early hours of the morning to care for people who are vulnerable, showing compassionate care and concern to everyone they meet.

Founded on the streets of Brixton by Reverend Les Isaac, OBE, in 2003 as a response to critical social issues, there are now 270 Street Pastor groups across the UK and seven internationally. More than 12,000 volunteers have been trained to serve as Street Pastors, not only on the streets but in many other public spheres as well, such as schools and after terrorist attacks. One of its strengths is that the work is supported by churches of every denomination.
