End of the Spear

Last night Nettie and I watched the movie "The End of the Spear". It's the story of Steve Saint, one of the men who was killed by the natives in Equador in the 50's along with Jim Elliot. Following their deaths, two of the missionary wives as well as one of the children decide to continue the work that was begun and risk their lives by facing the same people who killed their husbands in order to bring them to Christ. It's a really good movie, though the writers didn't include the gospel, which in light of the subject of the movie, missed the point. Though it's a little violent for young children, I'd recommend it to anyone. It'll be available at the Winkler EMMC library once we return it. -CP

Take a look at the trailer.

Very good movie, we watched for a youth night a few years back. the same year his son spoke at missionfest in winnipeg. Also for college in a missions course we had to watch it. Well there was only 1 copy for 30 students..so it was a perfect excuse to buy my own copy! Great movie.

Great review!

You may be interested in a new book out with Jim Elliot's own words:
"JIM ELLIOT: A Christian Martyr Speaks to You"

May God bless you and your ministry for Him.
