"End of the Spear" guest speakers at church -- an AMAZING story.

Okay -- this really has nothing to do with Skandar, but it is a subject that needs to be shared.
I go to Saddleback Church, and they always have interesting services. Last month they taught about God in Narnia. Very fascinating, with the added bonus of seeing Skandar on the commercial which played as an intro on these huge screens. Well, yesterday they had Mincayani and Steve Saint speak about their truly amazing story of forgiveness, which was made into a movie, due out in theatres on January 20th. (I do not know how wide the movie's release will be or how highly it will be reviewed.) Fifty years ago, five missionaries went to Ecuador where the world's fiercest tribe lived. (60% of the people in that tribe died as the result of murder!) Anyway, all five missionaries were speared to death by people from the tribe. In an act of either recklessness or bravery, the wife of one of the men killed and the sister of another went to live with the tribe to teach them about God. After knowing Jesus, the homicide rate went down by over ninety percent in the tribe. Steve Saint is the son of one of the missionaries that was killed, and Mincayani is the man that killed his father. Steve forgave Mincayani, and Mincayani accepted his forgiveness. (Wow) When the two spoke at church, Mincayani was completely inspirational. Steve was his translator, and his language was primitive, yet it carried such a strong message in it! Aside from all that, Mincayani was the coolest looking senior I have ever seen: He had tribal tattoos on his arms, and a fang necklace, with these earrings that were huge. He is nothing like my boring grandpa!
