Will have to check out Dave Hunt. Thanks!

Dave passed away a couple of years ago. Fascinating man, very intellectual. He obtained a Master's Degree in Mathematics from UCLA but was foremost an evangelist even back then.

If you remember the Christian move from a few years ago End of the Spear about Jim Elliot and others killed by tribesmen in the jungles of Ecuador, but years later, through the Grace of Christ, some of those same tribesmen became Christians. Well, Elliot was Dave's best friend and he spoke of him and his story quite often. I think it had a dramatic impact on his life and ministry. The website for his ministry is https://www.thebereancall.org.

Also, he wrote several books on apologetics and produces film such as Yoga Uncoiled from East to West, A Woman Rides the Beast, and Israel, Islam, and Armegeddon. You can also like his page on facebook and receive several short articles a day. The link is https://www.facebook.com/TheRealDaveHunt/. Hope that helps.

I never saw “End Of The Spear”, but definitely know the story of Nate Saint and Jim Elliot. Have met Mrs. Elliot (Elizabeth, I think), and believe she died recently. I listened to her for years on BBN radio.

The son of one of them went back to the Auca mission when he was older and worked with some of the now-Christian Indians who had murdered Saint and Elliot. They told the story of playing Christian choir music (on records, I assume) where they lived, and once when some of the converts heard it they were startled. They said that when they had been murdering Saint and Elliot they heard that sound in the air.
