Canadian Police Arrest Street Evangelist Proclaiming Gospel to LGBTQ

Toronto Police Arrest Street Evangelist Proclaiming God’s Love

‘And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. ‘

John 3:19-20

‘And they said, “Stand back!” Then they said, “This one came in to stay here, and he keeps acting as a judge; now we will deal worse with you than with them.” So they pressed hard against the man Lot and came near to break down the door. 

Genesis 19:9

The LGBTQ crowd knows what they’re doing is wrong and unnatural don’t ever, ever think that they don’t! Ultimately they know they are rebelling against God and they celebrate it.

‘who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.’

Romans 1:32

 

Toronto police arrested a street evangelist Tuesday night for preaching on a street corner in the city’s gay village.

They released him Wednesday morning but instructed him not to go to the homosexual district or any Pride month events. Pastor David Lynn of Christ Forgiveness Ministries gathered with about 12-15 other Christians on a street corner in Christ-Wellesley Village. He made the stop as part of a preaching tour through all 22 districts in Toronto. Another ministry that was present, Torch of Christ, shared a video of the entire event on YouTube and Lynn’s ministry shared a shorter, edited version.

As the group joined in a circle to pray before Lynn started preaching, a crowd of onlookers started to gather around them. Lynn started preaching on a microphone with a portable speaker, saying, “God is good, God is really good. We are here to offer free information about Jesus to all who would like free information.” The video then cuts to a group beginning to confront Lynn about his preaching. Lynn said he was tolerant of everyone and asked if they would be tolerant of him as a Christian. One man said he did not want Lynn to “spew” his beliefs right on top of them and another said Lynn was disturbing a peaceful neighborhood by preaching with a microphone.

By the end of Lynn’s time preaching and interacting with the crowd, those opposing him grew more aggressive. Several onlookers held up a large gay pride flag in front of Lynn. When he would try to walk to get around the flag, others would block his path. Others in the group sought to shout Lynn down.

  • David Hoffman, an evangelist who wrote about the event for the Christian Post, disagreed with the officer’s characterization of Lynn’s message. He said, “Throughout the video, it is surprising to see the reaction of those who were listening to Lynn’s preaching. The more love he poured out, the more hate and resistance he received. As anyone can see if they view the video, Pastor Lynn was respectful and kind throughout all of his time preaching. As he shared the Gospel, he also made statements like ‘We are here to tell you that we hate nobody.’ He emphasized God’s love again and again.”
