Ashante speaks boldly about the her faith
Although preaching in a KFC may seem unusual, Ashante is simply acting out her faith. According to Christ for All Nations, to preach everywhere means don't keep the Gospel to yourself. Use your voice and tell people about Jesus wherever you are.
To preach means to publicly announce or proclaim a message, like a messenger who went into a town and loudly declared who had won a battle. Jesus calls believers to be proclaimers of the Good News.
This means that don't need to know every answer, win debates, or explain every detail of salvation. Your job is simply to share the message of Jesus. As you go through daily life, at work, school, the shops, or with friends, speak about what Christ has done and trust God to do the rest.
