Beyond the Gates of Splendor

A very moving and well done documentary telling the story of the 5 Ecuador missionaries, Jim Elliot, Pete Fleming, Ed McCully, Nate Saint and Roger Younderian. They were speared to death by the Auca Indians, the very ones the missionaries had befriended.

"We acted badly, badly, until they brought us God's carvings (the Bible). Then, seeing His carvings and following His good trail, now we live happily and in peace." ~Mincaye

Steve Saint with Mincaye, one of the tribesman who killed his father. Steve lived in the tribe for several years and is especially close to Mincaye.
