I haven't done street preaching, but have done done knocking several times, which it seems the jehovahs witnesses have ruined for everybody- (not to mention door to door salesmen). To me the most proven way to build a church is through personal interaction and relationships with people. We don't like that because it takes time and process. However, those are the people who stick. I also like the idea of flyers, newpaper ads or other forms of "advertising". I think it goes back to the saying, "they don't care what you know (truth), until they know how much you care."
