We are gearing up for our next InsideOut outreach event called iMetro.  iMetro will be a series of outreach events that will take place at metro stops throughout Washington D.C.  This Saturday, we plan on passing out 200 free fare cards.  The amazing thing is that there are two major festivals in DC on that day: National Barbecue Battle and the DC Caribbean Carnival.  We are hoping to take advantage of the traffic and connect with individuals that don’t know Christ. This outreach event is actually a second option to our proposed gas buy down.  After our gas buy down attempts went belly up, we migrated back to this idea that came from my wife.  It was obvious.  Our mission field is a subway culture.  Everyone in the DC area either rides the subway train or knows about it.  Today’s Thought: contextualize, contextualize, contextualize.  It’s easy to grab an idea from a book or website that worked in another context and duplicate it.  After all, it has proven success.  However, we always have to be sensitive to our own context.
