Description

“He is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.” Jim Elliot had a loving wife, a beautiful little girl, and a reason for real joy. God had called him to bring the good news of Jesus Christ to the Auca tribe. Jim thought he would spend the rest of his life bringing Jesus to the lost Aucas, but the rest of his life was only a matter of months. Persecution and death are a reality for many Christians today. He and four other young men died in the middle of doing God’s work. When his life ended, the work went on and many of the Auca tribe today now have the same reason for real joy that Jim had.
