Wow, thats intresting how they are tring to reach lost souls,to tell them the good news that Jesus Christ came to this world to deliever them from there sins. So that 1 day they can spend eternity with there maker
John, I was wondering if you could give us your take on the matter
I have held discussion groups in bars, consecrated communion in a Waffle House and was a spiritual advisor / presence to porn actors. A friend has presided over weddings and funerals for bikers. Big deal.
All of us are equal as Children of God - who am I to place restrictions on where and when we can meet?

What sins? Drinking? Um, didn't Jesus drink (reference wine and Cana) or were you referring to something else?
Before you start commenting on other's sins, remember you are just as equal a sinner as they are. IIRC there is something in the Bible about not judging others.
I think what she's doing is great. The point is, she is meeting people where they are. These are probably patrons of the bar. It is familiar territory. They feel comfortable there. They are probably leery of, or afraid to walk into a church building, because they are already beaten down by life and are afraid of being condemned.
So she appears to be doing the work of the Lord here. As for the smoking and drinking, the Lord can handle all that later. As someone here said a while back, "Be fishers of men, you catch them and I'll clean them."
Location: Comunistafornia, and working to get out ASAP!

News Video, Good idea or not? Congregation seeks God in saloon?
Errors of a multiple kind:
1. She is NO pastor and is in rebellion with God.
2. She is leading others to hell.
3. She has a extreme faulty exegesis of Scripture.
4. Is not promoting the higher standard of holiness as the Bible demands.
5. The list could go on...

Maybe we should take church to strip clubs as well? afterall Jesus could get naked too?
Maybe you should consult with what scripture says rather than what YOU think is ok. It's not our jobs as Christians to grow a church or make people feel better about church in a non scriptural way, it's our job to preach the truth and then the Holy Spirit can work in the individual. What she is doing is not scriptural. She is taking church to them on their level not God's.
I guess people forgot what Jesus did in the temple? There is no doubt she has good intentions and she is sincere in what she is doing so I chalk this up to spiritual immaturity as she created straw-mans in her answer about Christianity being reduced to a moral code-but isn't she doing the same? She is doing nothing but creating an idol and practicing idolatry and people are being saved at her meetings in spite of her abhorrent teaching.

How do you know she is not a pastor and is in rebellion with God? Did you ask her or ask God?
Why is she leading them to hell?
What is her faulty exegesis of Scripture? Let me guess you are one that believes the KJV is the only true word of God and only what you or your church says is true.
Also what is the higher standard of holiness that the Bible demands? Is that getting divorced? After all recent studies by the Pew Center show that over 50% of evangelicals get divorced, in fact the more fundamentalist in your belief the higher the likelihood you will get divorced. Oh wait, that doesn't apply cause it is about you.
