TUSTIN, Calif. — Drive-through service is not just for fast food any longer. A California church has opened a drive-through prayer booth to minister to those in the community who might be intimidated at entering a worship center.
The Los Angeles Times reported that Main Place Christian Fellowship Church has taken over an old drive-through photo booth in a strip mall across the street from the church. Volunteers and church staff man the booth during normal business hours and offer prayer for those who pull up to the window.
“The majority of the people around here are Christians, but they don’t go to church,” said Pastor David Cottrill. “So when they have a problem, they don’t have anyone to turn to.” The booth advertises free prayers as well as flowers, Bibles and bottled water to patrons.
“This is like a fast-food place for God,” said a homeless visitor to the booth. Special needs encountered during the drive-through prayer sessions are referred to the church’s main office.
