I’ve said there are three main goals for the Sonlight Project and SonlightLex.com:

1. Make a financial contribution to La Cima World Missions and All God’s Children;
2. Provide a social media platform and display for Christian life in Central Kentucky; and
3. Provide an opportunity for businesses, organizations, churches and individuals to demonstrate their support of Christian life and growth.

As I’ve thought about this web site and what it can potentially become, I believe even my three goals fall short of the ultimate aim; to help people find Christ.

If SonlightLex.com is successful, and it will be, it won’t be because of anything I’ve done; quite the contrary. It will be a success because of and through you, the readers who visit and the buyers, people and places profiled and featured here.  It will be achieved through the efforts of all Lexingtonians, Central Kentuckians, Kentuckians and people everywhere.

Think about it.  If every day is sold, every month is sponsored, every day is filled with a feature story, hundreds, if not thousands, of people will have taken an active part.  The numbers of people visiting and talking about the site will be exponentially larger.  A new location to feature Christian activities will be established.  The new place to find businesses with Christ at their heart will have been created.  There will be a new place to find the heart of Christian life.

If statistics and studies are correct, nearly 800,000 live in the 20 or so counties that make up the central area of Kentucky.  Over 75% of those people identify themselves as being Christian.  That’s 600,000 people. With your participation, in whatever manner and on whatever level, we can grow that number well beyond 600,000 and bring all of us closer together.

If these sound like a lofty goals, so be it.  Insurmountable odds are overcome every day. This is far from “insurmountable.”  We can do it without really trying.

All God’s Children and La Cima World Missions have altered the course of untold lives and generations, against worse odds and larger challenges.  We can follow their lead.

When SonlightLex.com is successful, it will achieve the ultimate goal.
