***
In 1956, Jim Elliot and his four friends seek out a group of Ecuadorian natives who have never heard the gospel. The missionaries are murdered for their efforts. Years later, when the men’s wives also seek out the natives, and forgive them, their example serves as a powerful testimony to the truth and power of the Good News, and many of these same natives are then converted. Though this is a cartoon it should definitely be previewed by adults as some scenes – specifically when the missionaries get speared – may be too intense for younger children. (The 2005 feature length documentary Beyond the Gates of Splendor provides a deeper look into the lives of these five missionaries though it does have occasional, very brief, moments of National Geographic type nudity.) You can find a preview of the movie at their website www.torchlighters.org.
