I think Jesus gave a good answer for that,

Mat 9:12 ... “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick."

Well here's some BJU preacher boys evangelizing in a bar in Greenville!

I do not think that to reach unchurched people, you have to go where they are potentially involved in sinning.

I personally would not hold a worship service in an unholy place that is basically conducive to or devoted to sin. I might do it outside or nearby the place, and invite people in the place to attend.

Places in which I would not hold a worship service = liquor store, bar, x rated adult entertainment shop, gambling venue, crack house, brothel, cannabis dispensary.

I'm am of the understanding that when they were having church service - the business was closed.
If so - would that make a difference?

As far as Robert A - he was dismissed because he was preaching the gospel!

The business being closed would not make a difference to me. I would seek a different place to hold a worship service.

I got saved as a teenager at a Mennonite church camp. Starting in strict separation, I eventually got involved in a super libertine cult. Many years later, I married a woman I met at a Southern Baptist church. Recently, I have investigated Eastern Orthodox teachings of the desert monks, while remaining a Baptist. Thus, I have returned to strict separation, and hence the screen name, Ascetic X.
