After reading about this film for a couple of weeks, I just realized I went to Wheaton College with Nate Saint. And the name Jim Elliot seems familiar too. Have to find my yearbook.
Sounds right, I believe I was told that Wheaton was where they went.
In 1979 I went to a mission conference and heard Jim's wife, Elizabeth Elliot speak. It was such an awe inspiring speech I still remember it to this day. She talked about what it means to be a "witness". She told us the story of Jim Elliot, and the missionaries and what it meant to her to go back to Ecuador to finish the work her husband started. Just a tremendous woman and a woman of God.
