It may only be one thing that you do, but it needs to be something. Ask God for direction, reect on your God-given gifts, put your faith in action, and call a friend to help make it happen.

In light of your time, talent, and treasure, what can you do to make things better?

THE MISSION Help the Church be the Church in a time where it needs it most Catalyze a movement that challenges everyone in light of their time, talent, and treasure to ask the question, “What can I do to make things better?�

THE ASK In light of your time, talent, and treasure, what can you do to make things better? ● What can you do? ● Who do you know? ● How would you do it?

In the dream-it-up phase of a project -- where you imagine the possibilities, consider the alternatives, and produce a scenario for communicating your message in a compelling way -- I’ve never met anyone who can match Brett’s genius.
