Hi, I’m Linda

Welcome to my blog, Love, Linda Jo. You’ll find stories of our life on the mission field, resources for pastors, & some life lessons I’ve learned along the way.

Linda's List: End of the Spear

Linda's List: End of the Spear

End of the Spear by Steve Saint:

This is another book I love. It takes place a decade later and shows even more sacrifice as the son of one of the killed missionaries takes his wife and teenage children to work in Ecuador. This son, Steve Saint becomes close with the man who killed his father, named Mincayani, and ends up leading him to follow Christ. 

Steve later brings Mincayani to the United States, where his transformation becomes public on national television. I love this quote from Jim Elliot in his journal, “He is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose.”
