We Need Roger Bannisters
Cam Butler

For centuries man had been trying to break the four-minute mile.

In fact, ancient folklore has is that the Greeks had lions chase runners to help them run faster. Nothing they tried worked. Over four thousand years everyone believed it was impossible. Until one day a man named Roger Bannister broke the four-minute barrier. The following year thirty-seven other runners broke the barrier and two years later over three hundred runners broke the milestone. What had been thought impossible, because of one man, became very possible.

Australia needs new 'Roger Bannisters' of the faith who break past the impossibilities of our culture and pave the way for greater things in God.
