Why were we singing in the streets?

On friday night myself and Mike, Anna, Beth, Tash, Ellen and Rach went out to Broad Street in Oxford, it was sort of raining, sort of windy. I had my guitar, Mike had his bongos and all of us had our voices, guts and interest in singing music to the Lord on the streets of Oxford. We stood underneath an overhang of an old building and behind us was a plaque that informed visitors of the spot where 3 famous reformers of England were burned at the stake in the mid 1500's. The x in the middle of the street was where the stakes were placed, and where Ridley, Lattimer and then one year later Cranmer were martyred. It was quite an experience to be standing there singing praise songs, and talking with people on the street. Then after we had sung for a while we went back to the bus station and Ellen and I sang some of our songs, at that point we had quite a crowd that were "listening", who knows if they were:) We do plan on going out some more times, maybe asking people if they would like a song sung over them, or a song from the Lord for them. There is also this thing of busking where people sing on the streets and have their case out for change for people to throw money into, we might do that. We batted around the idea of going to an open mic night, that would be cool to share God's word in that way. I guess we'll see, either way it was an experience that I have not tried before and look forward to trying again. Enjoy the pics from where we were. Later

Here are 4 of the girls that were out singing, yes they are dressed up, and no that is not how they looked that evening:)

This is the plaque I talked about earlier.
