Sara Risser has spent her life on the mission field of Ecuador.  These day, she is looking ahead to the day when she will step aside from her busy ministry, and she's searching for another missionary to take her spot.  But sadly, she confesses, "I have found no one to follow in my steps."  The good news is that Sara has found several Ecuadorians who will continue her work.  I'm sure that Sara would agree with pastor and author Joshua Harris who has written...

"As Christians, we have a message—one composed of true facts about real event— that is bigger and more important than any one of us.  The good news of Jesus and His death and resurrection for sinners is the world’s only hope.  It’s the only way of salvation for mankind.  The obvious implication is that passing this saving message on to people who will be here after we’re gone is the most important thing we can do during our lifetime.  Our legacy, our reputation, our heritage is really unimportant.  A building or company or denomination with our name on it will do the world little good.  But if we can teach, train, and disciple men and women to trust in, love, and proclaim the message of Christ and him crucified, then we’ve accomplished something worthwhile."(1)
