'Dare to make contact!'

“End of the spear”, was stunning throughout the whole show. In the film, few missionaries got killed while having the intention to spread the gospel to the natives. The missionaries treated the natives so nice, had fun with them, but when the natives return to their tribe, they spoke lies about their experience with the missionaries. They betrayed the trust the missionaries have in them. Sounds familiar? It’s like, Judas betrayed Jesus, causing Jesus to be arrested and be put to sacrifice.

Nevertheless, these missionaries did not die for nothing, through the follow-up works done by their families, the natives came to realize what God’s love unto His children is. I was impressed by these missionaries, even at their verge of death, they still showed God’s love – not retaliating back by using guns to return fire. Their step of faith really encourages me. And by not giving up, their families stepped in to do the undone work. Remarkable courage. I think we should all learn from these characters, as much as we can, apply their spirits and attitudes onto the eagerness and boldness in us to reach out to our friends and families as well.

But what hit me real hard is the return of Elizabeth Elliot and another sister back to the Waodani tribe after losing their loved ones to the brutal killings. It just showed how big their hearts were. It wasn't an easy time for them to come to terms with the lost of their loved ones, but they saw a greater vision, for the Waodani to know God(Waegonggi). A vision that truly can come from God Himself alone. It brought me out of my selfish nature and start to look heavenward to see what God can use me as.
