Outreach ministries often perpetuate systems of apartheid. Embracing is an alternative model inviting vulnerability and mutual sharing. John’s gospel is concerned for the faith of the one reaching out. John 4 will yield the four congruent steps from outreach to embracing. This project employs a mixed methodology drawn from Richard Osmer’s 4- step Consensus Model for Practical Theology and Robert O. Brinkerhoff’s Success Case research method. The success case method brings stories from three actual congregations who exercise embracing practices. The stories are accompanied by song lyrics that harken from the receiving end of the apartheid.Outreach programs have been established by evangelical Christian churches in America to respond to the needs of impoverished communities, to evangelize non-professing citizens, and to attend to systems of injustice.1 These programs have successfully led to the physical growth of the Christian church in America. The church can celebrate the countless children fed, numerous communities resourced, and all the followers of Christ who have actively complied with the teachings of Jesus in the Bible because of its efforts. Christian outreach programs in America have done a great deal to help less fortunate people, but they have also done a fair amount of harm to those they endeavor to aid.
