Women of Faith

I heard this story years ago and came across this clip recently and had to share it. In 1956, five young, married couples traveled to the jungles of Ecuador as Christian missionaries. At the time, there were native tribes that had not yet been reached by missionaries and part of their goal was to attempt to make contact with these tribes. In this clip, the women recount the events that unfolded in Ecuador.

The thing that always gets me about this story is their unwavering faith in God. It is amazing how God can take the most devastating circumstances and see us through them; and not just sustain us, but use those situations to grow us. These wives are a great testimony to the love and faithfulness of the Lord. If you get a chance, you should definitely watch the full movie called Beyond the Gates of Splendor.
