End of the Spear
    I saw “End of the Spear” this evening with my wife. The story centers around the slaying of five American missionaries speared to death by the Waodoni tribe in 1956 Ecuador. The victims’ families travel to Ecuador to meet the tribesmen. The picture centers around Mincayani, who becomes a grandfather figure to the family of one of his victims.
     I’m not going to attempt to be deep or philosophical about the movie’s impact. But I will say, you need to go see this movie. The raw depiction of abandon for the barbarian Gospel, the pain and forgiveness, and ultimately the redemption of a people, all are reasons to see this powerful film.ÂÂÂ
    If the modern depiction of Christ’s love isn’t enough to get the $10 out of your wallet, maybe the fact that they’re donating 50% of the film’s profits to benefit Indigenous people’s like the Waodoni tribe. The more money the film makes, the more medecine, food, and hope that will be sent.ÂÂÂ

How soon til it comes out on DVD? No, seriously though. Do you think this would be a great screening movie for The Journey @?

My Wife and I went and saw this movie and though it was good we thought it lacked quite a bit. There was no mention of the power of prayer in the movie. Yes it showed how a family continue to work with the people taht killed thier family but it did not seem to protray the power of God in the film. Yes the tribe accepted these people and allowed them to live with them but the film was a very generic movie and although God was important to the lives of those who died and their families, this is not protrayed as strong as I believe those people would say it would be in their lives.
