Pastor Dresses Up as Homeless Man & Sits Outside His Church—The Results Blow Him Away

“We believe in the power of God’s Word. We believe that a redeemed life should be on fire for Christ. We believe that this flame is birthed in our hearts through the power of God’s Word. We pray every day that God’s Spirit is using ‘Walk in the Word’ to ignite passion in you!”

This is the mission and passion of Pastor James MacDonald, founder of ‘Walk in Word’ ministries, who is now getting to see the fruits of the seeds he has sown in his followers in the most marvelous way.

Pastor MacDonald dressed up as a homeless man outside of his church one Sunday to see how his congregants would react.

“What I witnessed blew me away,” wrote MacDonald in a Facebook post accompanied by a video of the results.

“So how did our church do in the video?” asked the pastor in church service, after walking in as a bearded homeless man. “I’m gonna tell you now: Awesome. I was crying inside that beard. I can not believe the people in this church. The number of people that prayed with me and brought me food. Just watch and see…”

Homeless… Pastor?

I dressed up as a homeless man and sat outside our church. What I witnessed blew me away… #love2live2love
