What these two are telling you is only half right. Yes you must go, but to "just go" without the support needed is suicidal. The point of ministry is to be "sent forth" not just to launch out into the deep alone. What needs to be done is to get into much prayer about the specific mission you have, the timing to go (just because you see the need now, doesn't mean its time to move now), and the proper support sent from GOD.<br />

<br />
I fully understand what type of people you are going towards. I am a former gang member:<br />
<br />
-6 1/2 years of gang-banging<br />
-former member of the C.R.I.P.<br />
-after 3 1/2 years, attained second-n-command of the set<br />
<br />
Had I not left the gang, I would have been the top dog by the time I got out of prison. Just to "go" is not prudent at all, because desire alone does not do it, neither does "the anointing". You need a plan and proper direction from GOD. Moving outside of that, and you're ministry (and maybe your life) is over. i am doing and same thingtag:abcpreachers.ning.com,2009-10-18:916966:Comment:10550292009-10-18T19:30:16.965Zanthonyhttps://abcpreachers.ning.com/profile/anthony362

Unfortuantely, this spiritual mentality may be larger and more widespread than we know becuase this could not only be with Young Thugs/Gang members but anyone who doesn't wear a Brooks Brother Suit or drive a 500 SEL coupe which would identify possible concerns towards the work of evangelism in general. I agree about presenting a ministry proposal and also prepare yourself for this area of ministry. The following is required<br />

Unfortuantely, this spiritual mentality may be larger and more widespread than we know becuase this could not only be with Young Thugs/Gang members but anyone who doesn't wear a Brooks Brother Suit or drive a 500 SEL coupe which would identify possible concerns towards the work of evangelism in general. I agree about presenting a ministry proposal and also prepare yourself for this area of ministry. The following is required<br />
<b>Prayer</b> - The conversations and revelations you will experience will affect you. Also prayer will prepare you for everything. Understand this point: just because they are thugs don mean they aren't familiar with God's word.<br />
<b>Patience</b> - Street Ministry is a seed planting ministry. During alter calls or confessions of faith, many will come but may not stay. <u>They will change their lives when the cause for changing their lives becomes greating than the cause for stay in the game.</u><br />
<b>Preparation</b> - networking is key and essential to reaching within the inner workings of a gang/club/social group/neighborhood. Realize that most people know the church and have a opinion about the church already, therefore breaking down walls and barriers comes with the territory. Remember names and use names - you can gain credability if you mention family names of people who currently attend your church that they may know.....always helps.<br />
<b>Plan</b> - know which area you are going to visit using a planned strategy. don't just float or wing it<br />
<b>Promise</b> - never promise what you can not deliver. let your yes be yes and your no be no. sometimes people will draw you in to get from you what the can until your well runs dry and then leave. dont be upset but know the Con is always present. (just being real)<br />
<br />
Walk by Faith in this new area of ministry......Remeber, obedience is important but to who/whom is most important. When God plants a seed inside you, please don't seek man approval for God's plan. God will provide. You said:

Thug'n, and gang banging is who I was before Christ came into my life. Alot of people are afraid to minister in that area because they do not understand. What they don't know is that thugs listen to people that are respectable. Even if there is not a quick turn around in there lives, a deposit is made. Even with this being said, it can still be dangerous, and everyone is not called to witness to everybody. Ministry begans with our testimony, and is often most effective when we minister in an…

"And no man takes this honour upon himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron" .Hebrews 5:4.<br />
If it is God that is sending you, He will back you up. Be strong in the Lord. This step can launch you into your ministry and bring about great harvest among this people.<br />

On a final note, keep away from sin. Live a holy life and God will use you beyond your imagination. Epheasins 3:20.<br />
All the best my brother.<br />
