In 1956, news from the steamy jungles of Ecuador spread rapidly around the world. Five young American men had been mercilessly killed by members of the Auca (Woadani) tribe the very same people those young men had gone to serve and befriend. That seemingly senseless tragedy has become an inspirational marvel as family members of those young men have now befriended that very same tribe! This is the story of one of the brave Torchlighters who lost his life that fateful day.

 

Jim Elliot spent his youth preparing to share the Gospel with those whod never heard it. But nothing could have prepared him for the dangers and challenges he would face in the jungles of Ecuador. The remote Auca tribe was suspicious and antagonistic toward even the friendliest gestures from outsiders. Would Jim and his fellow missionaries ever be able to break down the hostile barriers and carry a torch of faith to these people who are determined to attack all outsiders?

 

In this episode of Torchlighters we follow Jims adventures in faith from his college years to his work in the jungles, showing young people his faith in action as he answers Gods call to do the seemingly impossible.
