Six years ago I saw Travis Maxey do his part to change the world we live in. What did it take for him to complete 24 hours of free-throws?

First, it started with a relationship. Travis’s sister-in-law works for Judi’s place. Second, it took “buying-in” to the vision. Travis agreed that children deserve a place to feel safe, 24 hours a day, away from injustice and abuse. Third, it took wisdom. Travis needed to figure out what it would take to get prepared for the event and how to accomplish the fundraising. Fourth, it took faith and hard work.

How about the rest of us? What is our vision for the future – what do we feel passionate about?  Do we want to see the precious body of Christ grow in the Northern Kentucky Cincinnati area? Do we want to see our attendance and mission efforts increasing? Do we want to see a friend baptized?

My passion is to see the Summit Church of Christ grow. For this to happen each of us needs to, through faith, envision how Summit will be different one year from today. For instance: See your friend, who is currently not saved, faithfully worshiping next to you.

Hebrews 11:1 (ESV) — 1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

Travis wanted to make a difference, and he did. Friend, how can you make a difference?
