The Auca 5

The story of the Auca 5 is about 5 Christian missionaries who lost their lives hoping to bring Christianity to the Auca tribe in Ecuador. It happened on January 8th 1956.
These young men lost their lives but eventually the Auca tribes people came to know Christ. The 5 widows told how they met people who had of heard of their husbands deaths and how it had affected them.
The widows and mission agencies received letters from around the world (read paragraph Far reaching impact).

All 5 of the widows have met people who have told them the deaths of the men affected their lives.

The story has been turned into both a book and a film Through Gates of Splendor . Their daring mission has been recounted over and over again in Christian books and magazines.

Incredible all 5 Indians who had killed the 5 missionaries are not only believers in Christ they are also spiritual leaders among their own people.June 11th 1992 they received the New Testament in their own language. ( read paragraph Where it all began).
**
From the very day the men died to the present, God has been at work, lives have been changed, and history testifies that the Auca five did not die in vain.
