Abstract
Our children’s future will be nothing more than re-runs if we do not find opportunities for more synergistic efforts to bring God’s intended future for God’s children into fruition. This presentation uses the historic Underground Railroad metaphorically as a starting point. During the days of slavery, courageous men and women (Black and white, formally and informally religious, rich and poor, slave and free), along with Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks, collectively cried out, “I cant take it no longer. ” Clayborne Carson, in his autobiographical work on Martin Luther King, reminds us that—sooner or later—the cup of endurance runs over, forcing us to cry out, "I can’t take it no longer. ”
