Elisabeth Elliot and her husband Jim were missionaries in Ecuador, and their daughter Valerie was born in 1955. In 1956, Jim and his fellow missionaries were killed by the Waorani people they had been trying to reach with the gospel. Elisabeth could have gone home. Instead she kept serving among the Quichua people, and in the fall of 1958 she, little Valerie, and fellow missionary Rachel Saint were invited to live among the very people who had killed her husband. She went, carrying the love of the same Savior her husband had died trying to share.
