Through Gates of Splendour

The inspiring story of five missionaries who were martyred in the jungles of Ecuador as they attempted to reach the local people with the gospel.

In 1956 the world was stunned by a shocking event.

'Marj was standing with her head against the radio, her eyes closed. After a while she spoke: "They found one body."'

Missionary history will never let us forget the five young American men savagely martyred by Auca Indians in the jungles of Ecuador as they attempted to reach them with the Word of God.

Elisabeth Elliot, the widow of one of these men, records here the story of their courage and devotion to Christ in the face of danger and difficulty.

The challenge of their expendability for God continues as strong today as it was at the time of their death.
