Subway evangelism? Why not--it sounds fun!

Newsweek this week, in a remarkably positive article, featured the subway ministry of Mission NYC, in which passengers preach and even "shush" one another, sharing Christ with "straphangers." The ministry is led by Frank Meyer. According to Newsweek,

Meyer is part of a growing city Christian movement that uses unique ways to reach straphangers. Recently he launched a ministry that teaches people from New York and, currently, 15 other states to share the Gospel on city trains. (Those who don't want to quote scripture can be "shushers.") So far, Meyer, who works with Mission NYC, a nonprofit Christian group, has led more than 1,000 churchgoers in subway-evangelism training.

New York City was once considered a spiritual wasteland. No longer! The real evidence of change is in the many great churches that have arisen there in recent years. But subway evangelism is another good--and entertaining--sign.
