Sheffield Street Pastors launched at Sheffield Town Hall in October 2009. A team of 16 people from 5 different churches have been training over the last few months and hope to hit the streets of Burngreave at the end of March. This project has arisen out of the Burngreave Bouncing Back campaign in March 2008, and the gun incidents of the past few years. After a year of prayer and meeting things are now in place to go.
The Sheffield Team comprise of a great group of people from different backgrounds, churches and ages but they have had a great time training, eating and laughing together. They are all excited about getting out onto the streets of Burngreave. The team has had great support and funding from the local council and South Yorkshire Police. |
