End of the Spear

Last night, our CG watched the movie "End of the Spear" together. It was about the five missionaries who were murdered in 1956 in the Ecuadorian jungle by members of the Waodani tribe they went to serve and how the killing brought about salvation and peace to the tribe who have been engaged in brutal tribal war. This movie is very touching. It taught us real forgiveness. If you think that you have problem in forgiving with life little hurts, watch this true story and think again about the power of forgiveness.

The father (Nate Saint) knew about the extreme danger of his mission. They brought along gun but will not use it. He told his son (Steve)that he was not scare to die because he was ready for heaven and the tribe was not. Watch this preview of the movie:

And then watch this short movie about the tribe...


Watch this interview with Mark Fincannon to see the research being done before making the movie:
