Healing on the Streets is a simple, but beautiful way, to reach out to the lost and hurting on the streets of your town or city. It enables you to connect with your community every week, powerfully expressing God’s love in the market place, whatever the weather. We simply invite people to sit on chairs so we can pray for them.
The HOTS model is simple yet profound, gentle yet powerful, full of God's presence and brimming over with love. We create a thin place on the streets where heaven and earth meet, and people can encounter Jesus. It is marked by a true sense of peace. Amongst the hustle and bustle of busy shoppers, walks the Prince of Peace. The kingdom comes, stillness falls; passers-by begin to slow and stop, as the deepening presence of God draws their hearts. Over time we build relationships, creating stepping stones for people to come to Jesus, and be healed along the way.
Over the years we have discovered that when the HOTS model is changed in some way, or the team has not been fully taught, or taught from someone who hasn't caught the values that makes HOTS what it is. It simply ceases to be “HOTS”. We would encourage you to read Mark's book “Stepping into the Impossible – The story of Healing on the Streets” which you can purchase on this site.
Attending this training is a requirement for participating in our HOTS outreach day (but does not guarantee) on December 15.
