Christ met unbelievers where they were. And He met them most often in the marketplace, not in a place of worship.

He realized what many Christians today still don't seem to understand. Cultivators have to get out in the field.

According to one count, the Gospels record 132 contacts that Jesus had with people.

Six were in the Temple, four in the synagogues and 122 were out with the people in the mainstream of life.

Lost people aren't commanded to come to church, but the Church is commanded to go to the lost. Be like Jesus and find the lost by ministering in the marketplace.
