Faith on the Streets: Christians in action through the Street Pastors movement
Les Isaac, Rosalind Davies
Prose: non-fiction, Christianity, Christian life & practice, Christian mission & evangelism
Street Pastors has touched many lives in the ten years since its launch in the UK. This book collects together some of those people and tells the stories of their connection to Street Pastors.
Street Pastors is an international organisation 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.
Les Isaac
Les Isaac is the founder of the Street Pastors initiative. Born in Antigua, Les was a Rastafarian involved in London's gang scene before he became a Christian. He went on to work as a church leader for over twenty years, always seeking to engage with the same hard-to-reach communities that he came from. He is the author of Street Pastors, Relevant Church and Dreadlocks, and the director of Ascension Trust, which administrates and leads the Street Pastors movement.
Rosalind Davies is a writer and editor who has worked with Les Isaac and Ascension Trust on a variety of publications, and is the co-author with Isaac of Street Pastors. Working in a freelance capacity since 2007, she helps other people prepare their books for publication as a copy-editor, developmental editor and writing partner.
