Open Air Story of the Month

June - 2009

We often have teams of young people come to our OAC branches to be training in effective open air evangelism and experience the thrill of sharing their faith with people in the city. One youth group came from Kanata, Ontario Canada and spent a week in a Hispanic neighborhood in the south end neighborhood of Boston. After they left, we received a call from a task force group in the neighborhood called Hispanic Residents in Action (HRIA). They noticed that the gang members failed to hang out all week while we were there. They wanted the local pastor we were working with and our OAC staff to meet with them and other community leaders from the mayor's office to promote similar activities which would contribute to the safety of the neighborhood. Imagine that; the lambs scared away the wolves!
