I used to get absolutely wasted at a local club a few years back. Tonight I walked around the streets surrounding it, to pray for that community, hoping that Jesus' message might impact them too. Maybe those prayers will make a difference? Either way, I know that it was a better use of my time than the aforementioned evenings spent wandering aimlessly and bleary-eyed around those same pavements.

'Don't begin by travelling to some far-off place to convert unbelievers. And don't try to be dramatic by tackling some public enemy. Go to the lost, confused people right here in the neighborhood. Tell them that the kingdom is here.' (Matt 10 v5-7)

Seems like a pretty clear direction to me. I suspect this won't be the last time I comment on this one.
