April Fools?

"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose."  Jim Elliot October 28, 1949

 

On January 8, 1956 Jim along with four other missionaries were murdered by Waodani Indians on a beach deep in the Ecuadorian Jungle.  Several months later his widow, Elisabeth, moved into the Waodani village and led Jim’s muderers to faith in Christ.  Was he a fool?

Thanks for posting this archived note. I have never seen it before. May God richly bless all of you in Loomis especially during this Holy Easter season.
Wish I could see all the daffodils and tulips in bloom there! Always a beautiful spring site.
