There are many people in my life who have been an inspiration to me through their faith, courage, wisdom and determination. Among them are Boyce and Beth Wallace, Christian missionaries who have served in Colombia, S.A., for more than forty years. They are presently visiting in the States, sharing their quiet confidence in God and exhibiting their down-to-earth concern for people. To visit with them is to enter into a glowing space of hope, compassion and Christian accountability. They are purposeful, insightful, grateful.
What is a Christian witness, really, but one who is willing to live what he or she believes? It is this integrity that shines through the lives of these two disciples. They have been honored by their Church, graciously acknowledged for their servant leadership by the people with whom they have worked for a lifetime. But there is no greater tribute than the clear impression of Christ in their daily life. They walk with him. He walks with them.
