Beachfront preachers in Falmouth hit rough waters

I thought this would be a nice way to engage people without being confrontational. When someone walks by, we would just say, ‘Is there anything in life we can pray for?’ If the person says, no. that’s it. If the person says, ‘Yeah, my grandmother is really sick,’ then we can open a conversation.

Churches should reach out to people on their own property. I found the public venue of this disturbing and distracting. What happens when another group comes in and another and another?
