Mad 4 Jesus Ministries

Authorities in the UK will be reviewing an officer’s conduct after a video interaction of her with some street preachers went viral. Monique Bailey, who goes by Mon B on her socials, a preacher who oversees Mad 4 Jesus Ministries, were being told their group couldn’t stand in front of barriers near King’s Cross station where they were preaching. A female member of the British Transport Police then approached their group, saying, “It’s so loud.” When asked if the group was doing anything wrong, she responded, “These people just want to do their journey—they’re not coming here to listen to you.” The evangelist then asks the officer, “If I was doing a happy, clappy song it would be OK?” to which the officer responds, “I just think it’s all wrong,” before walking away.

Bailey shared about the interaction on social media, writing, “God cannot be mocked.” In another post, Bailey stated, “The GOD I serve is very real and HIS name is JESUS! He cannot be mocked. Don’t stop His servants from doing what He loves. To see souls saved. I pray this is a wake up call to all those who don’t believe and for Christians who have slumbered. CHURCH ARISE!” Bailey shared that another officer present during the interaction, “was not really getting involved and actually was happy to hear the gospel and wanted prayer afterwards though (shown in the next reel) God is good!”

British Transport Police responded to the video, stating, “We are aware of a video posted on social media showing an interaction involving an officer outside King’s Cross railway station.

Officers were on patrol at the station when they came across a group preaching on private land with a loudspeaker, which requires permission from Network Rail. As such, they asked them to leave. We fully appreciate everyone’s right to religious expression, and the incident in full is currently being reviewed by a senior officer.” What type of disciplinary action the officer might face, if any, remains unclear.

Bailey said she believes the interaction is part of the ever-increasing persecution of Christians worldwide. “As a believer, I totally believe in the Bible, and I believe we are in the days where persecution will be heavy on Christians,” she told GB News. Despite the risk, she emphasized her commitment to sharing the message. “I know we’re in a time where people do not want to hear this truth. I respect everyone who does not want to believe this. Fine. But when you have the knowing, it’s important we get it out there,” she said. “I think this should be a wake-up call to many people. I think people need to wake up and see what is really going on. I have a friend in Brighton who is preaching gospel a lot, and a lot of it is happening down there as well.” She told the People’s Channel that there is “inconsistency” with how the law approaches Christians preaching versus other religions. “They don’t do it to other religions to this extent. Of course not. We know that,” she said. “We have to be honest. They’re not going for the Hindus or the Buddhists or the Muslims like they are with Christians. It’s truth. It’s facts. But that is because he [Jesus] is the truth.”
