$1000 of Free Gas
This morning my church did a unique outreach … at the beginning of the service, we asked for volunteers to go out to a local shopping center and give away 100 ten dollar gas cards.
We returned before the service was over and wanted to show some clips to the congregation, so I had about ten minutes (during the car ride back) to import the footage and create this video. It was a tight turnaround, but it went off without a hitch!

What were people told as they were given the cards? and what was their reaction? What did they say? The music drowned out any audio from the clips.

It seemed like people were skeptical. I mean, just from that short clip. That’s a shame really….that you can’t just be kind without people assuming there is a catch. I think that was a cool idea though.
Yeah Christmas!

Willy, I was trying to be as unobtrusive as possible (and it was a really windy day), so I didn’t use audio. Most were told something like what the card says, “A simple gift with no strings attached to say Merry Christmas”.
I’m not sure if we targeted the best audience (shoppers at an upscale shopping center), but if it was out-of-the-ordinary enough to make people react skeptically, then I think it hit a great nerve!
