About
Jim Elliot was born on October 8, 1927 in Oregon. He died on Jan 8, 1956 (age 28). He is remembered as one of numerous missionaries who were assassinated during Operation Auca, an evangelical operation in Ecuador. He was the subject of several documentaries, including Beyond Gates of Splendor and Torchlighters: The Jim Elliot Story.
While he was a student at Wheaton College in Illinois, he became interested in Christian missionary activity, which would go on to have a significant impact on the remainder of his life. Warriors from the Huaorani ethnic group in Ecuador put an end to his life and the lives of his fellow missionaries when they executed him. The couple, together with his wife Elisabeth Elliot, was the focus of a musical theatre performance that was performed in 2003 and titled Love Above All. The union of the couple culminated in the birth of a daughter whom they called Valerie (born in 1955).
