CHURCH (BUT NOT AS WE KNOW IT)
Young christians boldly go out and about taking church to the people.
WOULDN'T STEP foot inside a church? Young Christian enthusiast, Daryl Coy, 25, has taken church onto the streets. And it's not holy water and wafers he's giving out, it's burgers and cola - with prayers.
"A lot of people see Christian faith as irrelevant to life" says Daryl "especially if it all takes place in a big, ancient, stone building. But we want to share that Jesus is alive and totally relevant to everyone, everywhere."
So Daryl and his mates take their barbecue out onto the streets. Giving out burgers for free and wearing bright red crosses, they are obviously Christians. But they aren't there to preach.
"We don't want to just shout sermons at people" says Daryl. "We want to make friends and invite people to be part of the amazing family of Jesus, the church.
"And we offer to pray for people, and help them find healing and love. It's not about ancient history; it's about here and now."
