In your final paragraph you describe your “mission field.” I think in describing your context you reaffirmed much of what a missional emphasis is all about.

Each, in their own context, desicover the redemption narrative that best speaks to their “mission field.”

The ultimate point is not post-modernism. Or the demise of all things institutional. To some contexts post-modernism rules, in others modernism still rules and there are even places that rednecks still rule!

But if the church continues its one-size fits all, do what we’ve always done ways. We will reach very few. Because those actions do not translate well across those contexts.

You are reaffirming that your context is different. Ultimately I believe thats what being missional is all about. Discovering our context and translating the story.

I pray you will find powerful was to speak the message to your context of red necks, meth-heads and trailer parks.
