Faith on the streets

the long version

11,000 trained volunteers ; 11 years ; 280 towns ; 8 countries ; 100,000 pairs of flip-flops, these are the numbers that are bringing about change, town by town, to the face of the UK and more and more countries around the world. Since 2003, Street Pastors have been a fixture of the night-time high street: friendly faces and a reassuring presence, defusing tension and helping people get home safely. These are the Street Pastors: caring; listening; helping. And this is the church in action taking its faith on the streets.
