Eddie Rector had a gift and a dream. His gift was his acting and he ached to tour the world using it for God. His contagious passion spilled out from the stage on which he performed to the audience. His teachers saw his gift and knew he had something special. His parents could only look on in wonder at their boy.

Eddie was convinced of two things - the worth of his cause and his own calling to it. He understood that he had the hope that a hurting world needs and he was willing to die for that conviction. Eddie traveled to South Africa to put his conviction to the test. There he traded his life when his time came.

So many people in life are looking for something to die for. What could be more valuable than something that costs you your life? The paradox is that when you've got something that valuable, it creates a life worth living. Life only really begins when we find something to die for. Have you found it yet?
