George Whitefield’s Preaching Stool
Speaking of street preaching… I don’t know if Mr. Whitefield was ever arrested at a pagan festival, but he was able to preach to upwards of 20,000 people at a time in the open air. He helped to bring about The Great Awakening in the 18th century. This is his preaching stool!

Indoor-preaching is beneficial only for those who attend such indoor-preaching in buildings; but again, the vast majority of people do’t prefer to enter such places as Church, thus, the necessity of Open-air Preaching. Do you see the point?
