A man who made headlines around the world when he baptised a friend in floodwater under the Hartcliffe roundabout has been turning heads again - by preaching to shoppers in the middle of Asda.
Barry ‘BJ’ Walsh has been filmed spreading the word of the gospel next to the tea bags at the end of the aisle in the Asda store near The Mall at Cribbs Causeway on Saturday morning, just before noon. The Hartcliffe man, a born-again Christian who said he turned his life around after being addicted to drugs, told shoppers that he has come to share the good news of Jesus, after posing a series of philosophical and theological questions.
A 32-second clip captured the moment the preacher began shouting in the supermarket, but ended before the point where a member of staff stopped him and asked him to preach outside the front door. “You know you have come shopping here today,” Mr Walsh asked. “But I will ask you a quick question - where are you gonna spend eternity? Where are you gonna go when you die?”
