The Benefit of Open-Air Preaching

"The great benefit of open-air preaching is that we get so many newcomers to hear the Gospel who otherwise would never hear it. The Gospel command is, 'Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature,' but it is so little obeyed."


- C.H. Spurgeon (1834-1892), who recommended that every person training for the ministry begin by preaching on the street.

Open-Air Preaching

"No sort of defense is needed for preaching out-of-doors; but it would need very potent arguments to prove that a man had done his duty who has never preached beyond the walls of his meeting-house."

- Charles H. Spurgeon (1834-1892), pastor of the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London. He was known as "The Prince of Preachers."
