Jim Elliot wrote these words at Wheaton College, as he prayed for God's direction for missionary service. Where would God lead this unusually dedicated and versatile man? Born into a godly family in Portland, Oregon, Jim was a dynamic speaker, a Greek scholar, and a college wrestling champion. But he welcomed the sacrifice of the mission field, even to the point of death-and, years later in Ecuador, that would be his ultimate calling. Though many saw this young man's martyrdom as a tragedy, God knew that Jim Elliot's extraordinary witness would not end there-as the seeds of a previously impossible ministry had been planted among the Auca Indians.
