![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It was a true pleasure to hear the words of this compelling story so wonderfully narrated by Marguerite Gavin. The story is told through the eyes of Elisabeth Elliot, the wife of one of the young men who was killed. Thankfully we have this example of authentic faith to provoke us in prayer and action. Through Gates of Splendor is the true story of five young missionaries who were savagely killed while trying to establish communication with the Auca Indians of Ecuador. It will take a new generation willing to prepare and sacrifice to reach them. The Christian community now faces the challenge of reaching multitudes locked behind a religious veil who have never heard of the great love Jesus demontrated on the cross.

Their passion to reach the lost in the jungles of Ecuador 50 years ago still serves as profound inspiration for Christians today. She so vividly portrays the youthful zeal and ultimate hopefulness of these men right up to the unimaginable moment of their death. I am still blown away by the honesty of Elizabeth Elliot's writing. Through Gates of Splendor introduced me to the idea that vision, preparation, and sacrifice, anchored in a profound love for God can in fact change the world. I first read this book nearly 30 years ago as a High School student, it challenged me and changed my life. ![]()
