MOVIE
NEW gripping insight on the movie recommended below updated 1/17/2006
---------------------------------------
I got the
opportunity to see this movie a few weeks ago in a preview setting. Very
well done! It's being released in a few weeks. It's based off of the Jim
Elliot & Nate Saint story in 1955 in Ecuador. What a story of
redemption! -Michelle White, CMC Children's Pastor (Michelle's e-mail
follows.)
[Above] is an e-card regarding
the new movie being released, "End of the Spear." The movie is very
well done and I highly recommend it. It does a great job of
following the true story. For those of you that live in the Poulsbo
area, it's supposed to come to our Poulsbo Theater.
I don't generally go around
giving my recommendations of movies, etc., but since this is based
off of a true story that I have heard many times as I grew up...I
wanted to pass this info along. Ecuador has a special place in my
heart. And what a wonderful re-hearing of this account of a tribal
people who desperately needed to be set free from the darkness they
were living in! (And they would be the first to admit that they were
living in darkness. This is not a story of "white men" taking over
and "making" people Christians...this is a story of redemption...for
a group of people that needed to be redeemed, yet didn't know how to
end the cycle of violence and destruction in their lives. AND this
is the story of those who were willing to risk their lives in order
to offer the truth that was needed in order for them to be saved).
I hope you'll take this
opportunity to not just watch this movie, but to discuss it with
your friends and family. And to talk about what is truly important
in life. Every human being (regardless of their tribe) needs to be
rescued from the curse of sin. And there is only One Person (Jesus)
who can break it. What part will we play in this story of life that
each of us is a part of?
I sincerely hope we all choose
to be risk takers for the things that matter most.
Sincerely,
Michelle
