Yes. It is a Biblical practise and I believe many lost souls have come to Christ as the result of it, also many Christians have come back to Christ as a result of street preaching.

Street preaching is one of many methods of witnessing the gospel, there is no need to compare one method with another. I would say that every street preacher also witnesses one on one, especially when out on the streets before or after his preaching session, but not every Christian who witnesses one on one (and we all should) is a street preacher.

Simply put, you don't just decide one day to go out street preaching, but rather you are sent out to do it by God, it's a calling. It is not for the faint hearted, and it is not for the novice new Christian who is unskillful in the word of God.

Romans 10:15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
