Ok, 2 out of three.
Assuming that God endorses your endeavor can have its pitfalls.
I sure respect the Jews as a living witness about God... the prophecies of the Old Covenant have not been completed yet. What we know as the gentile church is a side journey in the revelation of the overall plan of salvation.
I’ll eat pork at a church lunch, but wouldn’t ask a Jew to do it.

Is she from Santa Barbara?

Well, you cherry pick a case and then pretend you are all on the side of the angels. Especially when we don’t have any history leading up to it or following it...
For some reason you have a problem with Baptists. Why?
And you set up a straw man anyhow. That particular visit might or might not have been wished by the Lord, but in general many missions do things that the world would think crazy.
There’s a reason why I stay in the United States pretty much 100% of the time.
By the way, re your smart aleck tag. Smart has nothing to do with it. A brain of any kind should be laid upon the altar of God. Yours seems to be on the altar of self exaltation.
Fake news..she had an invalid visa and became extremely obnoxious and highly insulting at the customs area. She deserves a year.
Why do people go to Muslim countries.....7th century shit holes!!!
Why do people who act like asses at home think they can get away easy acting like asses abroad?
A story parallel to this could happen in Japan... there are things not to diss the Japanese about either.
So you say.

As usual, you are light years shy of reality.
I was raised in a GARB Baptist church.
You only enter a thread to throw digs at people, and to shine your little cross.
Yeshua’s Way has nothing to do with symbols; its all in the Heart.

“The deaths of the men galvanized the missionary effort in the United States, sparking an outpouring of funding for evangelization efforts around the world. Their work is still frequently remembered in evangelical publications, and in 2006 was the subject of the film production End of the Spear. Several years after the death of the men, the widow of Jim Elliot, Elisabeth, and the sister of Nate Saint, Rachel, returned to Ecuador as missionaries with the Summer Institute of Linguistics (now SIL International) to live among the Huaorani. This eventually led to the conversion of many, including some of those involved in the killing.”

“In January 1956, however, the five men were killed by members of the tribe as they approached them in person for the first time with the hopes of sharing the Gospel.
The story generated worldwide news coverage, and Elliot’s wife, Elisabeth, has since written a bestselling book entitled ‘Through the Gates of Splendor’ about her husband’s journey. Jim’s journal, which famously features the quote “He is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose”, has also been read by thousands of believers around the world.
Amazingly, Elisabeth and Saint’s sister, Rachel, were introduced to the Waodani just two years after the missionaries’ murder through Dayuma, and were invited to live among the tribe. They did so for several years along with Elliot’s young daughter, and Saint is now buried in Toñampade in Ecuador along with her brother and his martyred friends.”
I seriously doubt those who died did so arrogantly believing no harm could come to them. I’m sure they would say the price they paid was worth it.
“He is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose”
Well, I’d sure like to see some heart from you. All I see is jabs of the kind you are accusing ME of.
Well one should not keep on arguing with a fool. One might be mistakenly identified. Have a great self-filled day.
.
Well, he surely had no knowledge of your level of education.
This sounded familiar!
Ahhhh, ES! Knowledge puffeth up, but love edifieth.
.
No accusation is necessary.
Everyone sees your game. You glow in the dark.
Someday you may figure out that you cannot advance your cause by destroying others.
