” He is no fool who will give what he cannot keep, to gain that which he cannot lose.” — Jim Elliot
In January of 1956, Jim Elliot and four companions landed on a beach of the Curaray River in eastern Ecuador. They had many friendly contacts with the fierce tribe that had previously killed several Shell Oil company employees.
Two days later, on January 8, 1956, all five men were speared and hacked to death by warriors from the Auca tribe. Life magazine featured a ten-page article on their mission and death.
Perhaps you are thinking that missions is just for crazy Christian radicals who are obsessed with living in a grass hut and eating bugs. Jim Elliot was indeed “crazy,” but only about one thing: serving Jesus Christ. Jim had dedicated his life to see that the unreached people groups of Ecuador could hear the saving Gospel of Jesus Christ. ( article from B.C.W.E.)
This is what kind of people we are looking for , to help start Hope Baptist Church Middletown, NY. People who are crazy about serving Jesus and have a heart for those who are without Christ. If you are one of those kind of people, give me a call and let me know. 845-467-1235 or wayne@hope.fm
