“He who has prepared us for this very thing is God”
2 Corinthians 5:5
I do not remember when I first heard this story, it is as though it has been in my consciousness always.
As a Christian I understand the Great Commission to “go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age” (Matthew 28:19-20). But I have never felt called or led to ‘go’ beyond the communities that God has placed me in, so my understanding of missions to other nations is primitive.
I do not know what it is like to be called to be a missionary, but the story of the five missionary women … the five widows of slain missionary husbands, is one of great faith.
It is a true story, a missionary story, a story of faith.
It is also a story whose ending is not the tragedy, but the story after the tragic loss of the lives of the five men.
Below you will find a movie trailer for this story, and the full movie is available on YouTube.
