- Nov 8: Plot of "End of the Spear"
In 1956, five missionaries determined to spread Christianity to wild and undeveloped lands. They abandoned their comfortable and stable lives in the United States and flew to the primitive jungles of Ecuador, hoping to spread Christianity to the uncivilized locals. Unfortunately, almost as soon as they set foot on the tribe's territory, they were killed by Indians armed with spears. Minkayani is a warrior of the Waodani tribe. He witnessed the entire process of the killing of these missionaries and saw that although they were holding pistols, they never pulled the trigger. After the battle, Minkayani found the missionary's relics and looked forward to seeing these people from the outside world again so that he could have a chance to answer his questions. Two years later, the wives and sisters of two of the missionaries also set foot in this tropical rain forest. With the legacy of their loved ones in mind, they re-preached the gospel to the tribal people. Here, they met Mingkayani, who had become the leader of the tribe.... Finally, the whole tribe believed in the Lord.
