End of the Spear

I continue to anticipate with great hope the January release of the film "End of the Spear", the film dramatizing the story of Jim Elliot, Nate Saint, Roger Youdarian, Pete Fleming, and Ed McCully. These 5 missionaries were killed in January, 1956 by the tribe then known as the Auca Indians of Ecuador.

The film has been produced by Every Tribe Entertainment, who also made the documentary "Beyond the Gates of Splendor". The story itself has captivated me since I was a small child.

This morning my brother Tom sent me a ten year old article written by Steve Saint, son of Nate Saint. In the article, written in observance of the 40 year anniversary of his father's death, Steve tells the story as he had only recently heard it in 1995 - the story from the perspective of the men and women who were part of the killing party.

Here is a link to the Word document. It is truly an amazing story of grace and redemption worthy of your reading.
