End of the Spear

End of the Spear is the compelling and true story of dedicated missionaries needlessly speared to death by the violent tribe they are seeking to help.  This tragically occurs because one of the tribesmen lies about them in order to protect himself from deadly reprisals within his own clan.  The result is five men are murdered and their families are thrown into disarray.  Even so, their wives -- with their children -- valiantly continue to pursue the visions they once shared with their husbands.  With courage and bravery they make slow but steady inroads by moving in with the native people and then winning their trust, providing medical help, and telling them about Jesus.

Even more gripping is when the son of one of the slain missionaries encounters one of his father's now-believing murderers.  Instead of revenge and anger taking over, love and acceptance prevail.

This movie is well done and isn't preachy, but it is an inspiring and moving example of what can be done through love and by faith.  (Also, be sure to check out the extras for interviews with some of the real people in this story.)
