The Street Church Movement - Shishye Thompson

Shishyashram, a community of Christians stewarding their skills and minds to glorify God, has the unique opportunity of reaching out to the red-light district of GB Road in New Delhi to share the love of Christ with the women who reside there. The Holy Spirit led us to go there and revealed to us how our Lord Jesus walked on this earth, choosing to meet people no one else wanted to see. If we were to follow in the steps of Jesus, then our path was destined to cross GB Road.The red-light district is associated with violence, abuse, organized crime, and human trafficking. While many have given up on people who live there or are trapped there, we know full well that the Lord has not given up on them. He takes His love to them in revealing to them the kingdom of God.Our faith in Jesus gives us hope for the deliverance of the captives of GB Road. When Jesus came to seek and save those who were lost, He went and met the people in the places where they lived.The incarnation of the Son of God did not complete in His birth as a human but found its fulfilment when He humbled Himself and served the most despised, rejected, poor, sick and oppressed, and those who were captives and lived on the other side of the wallthose who were slaves to crime, injustice and the flesh trade. He wants believers to follow Him in such places too.John 12:26, Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honour the one who serves me.
