This Saturday, April 7th, will be the Rangers Outreach as part of the MLB Outreach. We are expecting somewhere between 40-50 people to help with this outreach. There will be two meeting locations to join up with the group. The first location is at the Gospel For Asia parking lot in Carrollton. The second is at the Rangers Ballbark in Arlington. If you are interested in carpool/caravan, then please meet at the GFA location. Here are the logistics:
- 3:45-4PM – Arrive at GFA (1800 Golden Trail CourtCarrollton, TX 75010)
- 4:00-4:15 instruction & prayer
- 4:15-5 – drive to Arlington. Park at location P in the map below. Direction can be found here.
- 5:00-5:15PM – walk from parking to main location (about 1 mile walk on Randall Mill)
- 5-7:15 – Outreach. Game starts at 7:05
- 7:15-7:30 – walk back to cars
- 7:30-8 – drive back. May stop for dinner en route back if there is interest
We will divide the group into FIVE sub-groups. Groups 1, 2 and 3 will work the East side of the stadium. Groups 4 and 5 will work the West side of the stadium. Groups 4 and 5 will be slightly larger than the other three so that we have people to spread out from the main locations for those groups down the road and out towards the parking areas. The map below shows where the groups will be positioned:
View Rangers Outreach – April 7, 2012 in a larger map
Group 1 / Main Location: This will be the main meeting location at 5:15 and also at 7:15. Intersection of Ballpark Way and Randall Mill. We will open air preach and have the main location for the outreach here on the NE corner of this intersection. We will also position people on the SE and SW corners of the intersection.
Group 2 – Ballpark Way midway between Randall Mill and Road to Six Flags. There is a lot of foot traffic from the parking lots and also buses that unload right at this location. Stay on the sidewalk within 8 feet of the street.
Group 3 – Ballpark Way and Road to Six Flags. We normally open air preach from the SE corner of the intersection. The NE and NW corners are also good for handing out tracts. Spread the group out on three of the four corners of the intersection.
Group 4 – Home plate entrance of the stadium at Nolan Ryan and Road to Six Flags. There are normally fences up the road to the cross walks. Set up on the side of the street away from the stadium where the cross walk is. Also position people up the street at the intersection of Legends Way.
Group 5 – Randall Mill and Nolan Ryan. At the World Series we open air preached from the SE corner of the intersection. Spread the group out over the SE, SW and NW corners of the intersection. Additional people can be deployed south on Nolan Ryan and West on Randall Mill on the north and south sides of the street.
General Rules
The general rule is the there is public property everywhere around the stadium as long as we are within 8 feet of the public street. We have found that it is “easier” to stay on the side of the street away from the stadium. However, technically we can be on the stadium side of the street as long as we stay within 8 feet of the street. A copy of a letter stating our free speech rights will be distributed to each group at the outreach.
Tracts
We have 15,000 baseball themed tracts for the event. We also will bring another 5,000 or so additional tracts.
