Suggested Use:
This true story transfixed the nation when it happened, and it still provides powerful lessons today. For decades people have identified with the loss of these missionaries' families, but this film (and its companion Beyond the Gates of Splendor) brings to life their gains--inexplicable apart from the love of Christ.
Use End of the Spear in your youth group, small groups, entire church body or as a community outreach. It can be especially timely when scheduled with a missions conference or emphasis. Teens wrestling with questions about their futures will find an inspiring story of giving your life for the cause of Christ. Parents seeking positive family entertainment will find a film that instills much more than a me-first attitude. Seniors and older adults will remember when the missionaries were martyred and will want to hear the rest of the story.
