Technorati"I've never been so touched by a movie before in my life," commented Ted Haggard, president of the National Association of Evangelicals. “It took me an hour to recover from End of the Spear.”
John C. Maxwell, founder of Injoy and EQUIP Ministries, said, "Without question, this is one of the most compelling stories of the 20th century."
For the Waodani tribe, which had a homicide rate of 60 percent, a grandchild was unheard of because no one lived to be a grandparent. But after the Gospel message was introduced by the sister of Nate Saint and the widow of slain missionary Jim Elliot years after the men died, and the homicide rate fell by 90 percent.
Steve Saint recounted a scene in the film where Kimo, one of the tribesman who attacked the missionaries, asks a member of his tribe, Dayumae (played by Christina Souza), why the foreigners didn't retaliate.
"This is something he absolutely couldn't understand," commmented Saint. "It didn't make any sense in human [practical] terms."
In the film, Dayumae said, "No. They came to tell you that the Creator has a son, and when he was speared, he didn't spear back so that those spearing him could learn to live well."
This story is believable because it is true, said Saint.
"God is the Author who does that with people's lives. I think the most fundamental issue is … whether we're going to write our own story and assert our own will, or whether we're going to submit to God's Will and let Him write the story."
"Five people gave the ultimate sacrifice to tell this story," wrote Joseph Farah, founder, editor and CEO of WorldNetDaily News and a nationally syndicated columnist. “The least we can do is to ensure that it gets the widest possible audience.”
