Jim Elliot (missionary To Ecuador) Paperback

He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep gaining what he cannot lose.” Jim Elliot wrote these words during his years at Wheaton College, a time when he prayed for God’s direction for his future as a missionary. Where would God lead this unusually dedicated and versatile man? Born into a godly family in Portland, Oregon, Jim was a dynamic speaker who had memorized literally hundreds of hymns, a Greek scholar, and a college wrestling champion. Years later that request would be fulfilled, on a beach of the Curaray River—deep in Auca Indian territory—in eastern Ecuador. But God’s plans for Jim Elliot’s extraordinary witness would not end there. The seeds of a heretofore impossible ministry had been planted.
