53 years ago today (Jan. 8), Jim Elliot and four other missionaries were killed in Ecuador seeking to meet and evangelize the Waodani people.
Here is a video about their mission:
Justin Childers posts some of his favorite quotes from Elliot--including the famous line, "He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose" (penned in a personal journal on Oct. 28, 1949).
In 2005 David M. Howard Sr.--the brother of Elisabeth Elliot and Tom Howard, and the father of David M. Howard Jr. (OT professor at Bethel Seminary in Saint Paul)--spoke at Grace Community Bible Church about his brother-in-law's life.
