Ministering Sub-Culturally

God has put in a place where I have the privilege of ministering among several different culture groups (Sudanese, Liberian, Tibetan and Anglo). Much of my personal study is devoted to learning to minister across cultures. I am part of group (LINC) currently trying to organize our gifts and passions to maximize our effectiveness ministering cross or multi culturally. But I am also part of a weird subculture–unicycling. Like any subculture, we have our own language, our own definition of success, our own acronyms, our own heroes and our own unique gatherings. This past weekend we had one such gathering, Mondo (it could also justifiably called Weirdo), and it got me thinking.

Just as their are many unique cultures in our society where we have unique opportunities to share the Gospel, there are also many unique sub-cultures where the opportunities are just as unique and just as many.

What if there were a group like LINC that sought out Christians in specific sub-cultures and empowered them to share the Gospel in their own unique settings? What if we identified Christian skateboarders, Christian gourmets, Christian stampers, Christian photographers, Christian artists (of all forms), Christian nurses, etc and found ways to gather them and empower them for ministry in their unique settings?

I think it has possibilities.
