The “End of the Spear” Movie Global Outreach Project:
The “End of the Spear” story demonstrates that God is working around the world in amazing ways to bring His people into a life changing encounter with Jesus Christ.
“My father did not die just for the people of the late 1950’s and 60’s but for such at time as this” is a quote by Steve Saint in reference to “The End of the Spear” movie Global Outreach project.
The purpose of this translation, dubbing and movie distribution project is to make the gospel of Jesus Christ available to major unreached people groups in their own language in five countries in South Asia including: India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Pakistan and Bangladesh. The movie, “The End of the Spear” is based on the book by Steve Saint with the same title. It is ‘The rest of the story’ written by Elizabeth Elliot in “Through Gates of Splendor”. It is a story of forgiveness and reconciliation in which Steve Saint forgives the tribal warrior
Mincaye who speared his father, Nate Saint to death along with 4 of his friends in 1956. Mincaye, who became a Christ follower ends up treating Steve as a son. Today, Steve’s Children and grandchildren call Mincaye ‘Maemae’ meaning grandfather in Mincaye’s language.
This story is only possible because of the larger story of forgiveness and reconciliation God demonstrates to us in
2 Corinthians 5:18-20
Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the message of reconciliation, namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the ministry of reconciliation.
The movie story tells how Steve Saint has continued to maintain a lifelong close relationship with the tribal Amazon people who devastated his life by killing his father and four others when Steve was Judy a boy. It tells of the effort by Steve’s Aunt Rachel (Nate Saint’s sister), and Jim Elliot’s widow Elizabeth who went in to live with those same Waodani people. They risked their lives to finished the job their husbands had started. They were passionate about, taking the gospel of Jesus Christ to this small unreached and vulnerable Indian tribe in Ecuador, South America in 1956.
Now, we have an opportunity to make Christ’s Gospel available by funding the copying and distribution of “End Of The Spear” DVD’s already translated and lip-synced in the Hindi, Marathi, Urdu, Nepali, Bengali, Sinhalese, Tamil, Kannada, Punjabi, Gujarati, Telugu and English languages. Incredibly, these 12 languages are spoken by 1 Billion, 745 million people in Asia. That is almost 1/4 of the population of the entire world.
When this amazing story was shown to an audience of Hindus, Muslims, and Buddhists in one Indian city, a Senior Monk told the crowd :
“How can a man not only forgive the man who killed his father, but also make him the grandfather of his own grandchildren? To do this takes the help of a higher power”!
He was right. Jesus is that higher power.
