What does a City Pastor do?

We listen, care and help.

To date, our teams have:

• Resuscitated 2 people
• Helped avert 14 suicides
• Saved at least 3 people from Hypothermia and possibly death
• Given away over 10,000 pairs of flip flops, mainly to girls walking home barefooted carrying their high heels which they can no longer walk in – this helps to avoid foot injuries from walking on broken glass
• As appropriate, prayed with more than 1,750 people on the street
• Given advice/re-assurance/directions to more than 2,275 people
• Been able to help after more than 375 assaults
• Removed over 98,000 bottles from the streets in case they get broken and cause a hazard or get used as weapons – nb staff working in A&E Dept, Derriford Hospital have commented on the “noticeable drop” in the number of cuts dealt with on Saturday nights
• Given away over 2,500 space blankets, mainly to street sleepers. We also carry woolly hats, gloves scarves  and sometimes chocolate to give away.
• Administered direct First Aid and/or contacted the emergency services more than 1,300 times
• Given away some 700 bottles of water p.a. (either to wash wounds or help sober people up enough to get them safely home in a bona-fide taxi)

We offer unconditional care, love and support to all we meet.. The power of a smile, a kind word, the offer of help or a listening ear can be all someone needs sometimes.

We don’t judge, preach, or wag fingers, although if asked, we are happy to answer any questions that we can about God or the Bible – after all, we are only reflecting His love by dong what we do on the streets!
