Living and Leaving a Spiritual Legacy?

Paul seemed to be able to make disciples in all the churches he established and could leave in confidenced the leadership that had been created. In Acts 20:1-6 we find an account of some of the disciples that were part of a larger missionary team. These were not just people from Antioch of Syria, but members of the local congregations that had been established along the missionary journeys. This helps to reconcile Paul's determination to return to Jerusalem. Not only had a firm foundation been laid in the churches, but also strong leadership so that Paul became able to go to Jerusalem and face what he knew would happen to him there, his arrest and subsequent imprisionment in Rome and eventual death. It also seems from the text that the Holy Spirit had been telling these disciples of Paul's fate in Jerusalem (of which Paul was also aware) and they desired him not to go. This I beleive is not disobeince on Paul's part but rather a kind of obedience that is rarely seen. The kind of obedience that he could carry out with confidence because of the spiritual legacy that he would be leaving behind. The question that comes to mind is what kind of disciples are we creating? Are they just passive listners of active learners? Where is the standard of discipleship in our own ministry work? Can we say as Paul , "Follow my example as I follow the example of Christ"? Are we living and leaving a spiritual legacy?
