MARTYR ANNIVERSARY: On this day in 1956, missionaries Jim Elliot, Pete Fleming, Ed McCully, Nate Saint and Roger Youderian were violently killed by the Waodani tribe in Ecuador. The five had spent months contacting the Waodanis through over-flights and gift exchanges via an ingenious bucket drop. Though the tribe had a history of violent encounters with outsiders, the men had decided they'd established a degree of mutual trust that would support direct contact.

Within two years of their deaths, Elisabeth Elliot and Nate Saint’s sister made a friendly and lasting contact with the Waodanis, and translation of the Bible into the Waodani language began. One by one, the men who murdered the missionaries became believers in the One who sent the five to reach them.
