If God can turn the brutal murder of a group of young missionaries around for good, how much more what you are facing today? Go read the rest o this article which begins,
\n\u201cToday in 1956, five missionaries to the Auca indians in Ecuador were killed. Their deaths brought a sudden end to the project they called \u201cOperation Auca,\u201d but the tragedy became a defining moment in the history of evangelical missions. Hundreds of young people were inspired to take up missionary work, thousands were moved to deeper commitment to Christ, and millions of dollars in resources were mobilized. And the work with the Aucas went on, too\u201d<\/p>\n
