What is streets team? A Street team is a term used in marketing to describe a group of people who 'hit the streets' promoting an event or a product.

Well at eXplode we have our own streets team promoting the event on Friday nights. Streets team was born when we came back from audacious 2007. We felt ready and prepared to expand our influence on Hounslow and it was decided that this could be done by handing out flyers every Wednesday on Hounslow High Street promoting eXplode Youth Ministry.

You see eXplode isn't an ordinary youth ministry, we are extraordinary. We have a passion and a hunger to see the youths of Hounslow changed. If we keep silent then no one will ever know about the becon of light of hope and salvation that set us free. One way in which we share this hope is through the flyers we hand out to the people we meet on the streets and talking to them about what happens on a Friday night.

That flyer is not just a piece of paper with information; it is a seed to that young person that enables them to check out something and feel something that is at the centre of eXplode and that is Jesus Christ. It’s a tool that is used everywhere around the world to promote events and other stuff and it’s worked. Since the streets team kicked in people on the streets know who we are and we have seen the numbers at the youth ministry doubled over the year from starting off at just 30 to now 60+ on a Friday night.
