Gaining By Losing

Jim Elliot was an evangelical missionary who attempted to reach out to a small Indian settlement in Ecuador with a team. Unfortunately, the entire team was killed by the settlement. Though his work was not complete, others, including his widowed wife, began to reach out to the same settlement and many were converted through their ministry. He is known for saying, “He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.” (Article source: http://www.wheaton.edu/isae/hall-of-bio...
