Features: A thrilling story set in the Amazon rainforest that stunned the world, a modern classic legend that has sold worldwide for 50 years, and an inspirational biography that touched the hearts of millions in the West. In 1956, five missionaries who were determined to spread the gospel deep into the jungle abandoned their comfortable lives and ventured into the pristine Amazon rainforest of Ecuador, hoping to preach the gospel to the indigenous Oka tribe. Unfortunately, as soon as they stepped onto the tribe's territory, they met with a tragic fate. Despite having guns, they never fired a shot. The Oka people, who were not welcoming to outsiders, initially did not refuse the missionaries' gifts or their friendly gestures. After numerous attempts at contact, the five missionaries felt the time was right and decided on a day in January 1956 to prepare for a crucial meeting with the Oka people. The wives of the five young men instinctively gathered around the radio, waiting for news. What awaited them, however, was the shocking and devastating news.
