About HOTS

Healing on the Streets is a simple, but beautiful way, to reach out to the lost and hurting on the streets of your town or city. It enables you to connect with your community every week, powerfully expressing God’s love in the market place, whatever the weather. We simply invite people to sit on chairs so we can pray for them.

The HOTS model is simple yet profound, gentle yet powerful, full of God's presence and brimming over with love. We create a thin place on the streets where heaven and earth meet, and people can encounter Jesus. It is marked by a true sense of peace. Amongst the hustle and bustle of busy shoppers, walks the Prince of Peace. The kingdom comes, stillness falls; passers-by begin to slow and stop, as the deepening presence of God draws their hearts. Over time we build relationships, creating stepping stones for people to come to Jesus, and be healed along the way.

Mark Marx, the founding leader of Healing on the Streets, first launched HOTS at Easter 2005. He pioneered this ministry, which was adopted by many churches and continues to spread around the world. In March 2026, Mark went to be with the Lord, but the ministry and impact of his life continue through the resources he created and the many kingdom stories that came from his life and ministry.
