March 17th, 2007: End of the Spear

We finally got to watch the movie "End of the Spear", which came out while we were in country. The girls were fascinated by the story and its message that like Christ we are to give our lives for the poorest people not simply have it taken. The fact that the movie portrayed Jim Elliott as a little bit of a goof ball making monkey noises in a kitchen scene, made them think that Jim and I were a lot closer than name alone. There have been many times I have goofed with them by acting as an ape. I told them I only hope that I can have the strength of faith that those men and more importantly their wives had.
