Do they offer her newsletter now that she has passed?

Please take your address down,Martha. It's not really safe to put it out on the internet.

The music is from the Bioshock Infinite soundtrack. It is titled Lighter Than Air. Although this music is quite pleasant to listen to, it does have an unusual and uneasy sound because of the odd sounds in the background. Why it has been chosen as intro music to several of Elisabeth Elliot's speeches found on KZfaq I have no idea. Hear the music here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Zt2qdduB3s7YfZc.html

The 5 young men missionaries had a guns but they dont use it to protect themselves.bcoz if they use it the tribes are not saved.

Now that's real Faith!

You should read the book. They had been to missionary school, some also studied tropical medicine, obstetrics and nursing. They were actually based in Ecuador jungle for five years and Nate Saint about 8 years before they tried to meet the Aucas. They spent time teaching the tribes the word of God and the women had a school for the children, the missionaries also administered medicine to the sick and delivered their babies. They decided to try to make contact with the aggressive tribe because they believed they also deserved a chance to hear of the love of Jesus. They counted the cost and knew that it was dangerous but they were still willing to go. They didn't go to meet on the first time they found but flew over their territory many times and exchanged gifts before moving nearby where they met a man who welcomed them. The rest of the tribe seemed to like them too when they flew over, they would wave and communicate a few words in their language and the people would respond. They knew the men of the tribe were coming to their site but they thought it was in a friendly way as the orevious man had come.

@@EBB505 thank you for writing that so I didnt have to.

As far as I know all of them went to college . Bible College and missionary school. One gave up his studies in law to follow God's calling. The only choice they had was to bring gifts. They were not stupid in any way. There were no indications the Aucas wanted to hurt them as they accepted their gifts and seemed happy. They went back several times with gifts. They were doing what God wanted. 2 years later Elisabeth went back to the Aucas with her 3 year old. She found out they had thought the men were going to eat them. She met the ones who killed Jim. She forgave them because they thought they were protecting themselves in ignorance. They did not hurt her nor her daughter, Valerie. It had nothing to do with intelligence or college. It had to do with obeying God no matter the consequences. We still have missionaries in dangerous places like China, Afghanistan, and Iran. Thank God for them and pray for them and their safety. Send money to help them in their needs. Heart cry Missionary Society is on youtube. They do not ask for donations but on very rare occasion. But it helps them any time you can send some help.

I read the book, the machetes were very important for the tribes living in the jungle, they would use it to cut down reeds, bushes and thorns to make a path when they were walking and they would also protect themselves from snakes. The ax were also used for cutting bamboo to build beds,mats and cut down trees to make an area to live. It was a thoughtful gift to the people because it made their lives easier.
