One of my heros of the faith...

53 years ago (Jan. 8), Jim Elliot and four other missionaries were killed in Ecuador seeking to meet and evangelize the Waodani people.

I grew up hearing aBout Jim and Elizbeth Elliot , Several Years Ago I got to hear Elizabeth speak at a church I was attending at that time she was awesome. It is amazing how she had the courage to go back to the very people who killed her husband. Isnt Nate Saints son working there to this day, Not sure but I thought I heard that.
