When a Single Book is Not Enough It is quite obvious that the USA
has produced some incredible human beings who have in their own
way, changed, or affected the world. Well, this is also true when
it comes to Christianity. Here are five very different people who
in their own way, left their mark, not only on America but the
world. With a passion to reach the Ecuadorian Auca Indians, an
indigenous tribe considered dangerous to outsiders back in 1950, a
small team, starting slowly with gift parcels, then meeting with
one or two, ended up being murdered by those they were trying to
reach. Just when it looked like it was all over, it is hard to
believe what happened next. We then learn about a woman who was to
become a respected author and speaker, and was married to one of
the team above, but was in no way in his shadow. In fact, she was
to see and be involved in what came about because of their deaths,
and it was, and still is, amazing. Then we find out about a young
woman who, inspired by the early aviators, became a pilot, and
served during WW2, along with many unsung heroines, ferrying planes
and supplies around the country to help the war effort. She would
eventually go on to help found what would become Missionary
Aviation Fellowship, an incredible organisation to this day. There
are many evangelists in the world today - why not discover if one
from the past was very different, especially one whose name is on
many Christian organisations to this day. Lastly, we learn about a
very educated and privileged young woman from the 19th century who
felt called to China for most of her life. There is an annual
offering for missions each year in her name, which has so far
raised 1.5 billion dollars! Explore the lives of these Americans
who certainly left their Christian mark on our world. You Will
Meet... Jim Elliot - He forfeited his own life to bring the good
news to the Auca Indians. Read the story of Jim's love for a

shows of the culture wars, Elisabeth was a vibrant role model for
godly women all over the world. Betty Greene - Betty Greene was one
of the early women pilots. After WWII, Betty helped to set up an
organisation that used planes to help mission work - and she was
its first pilot. D. L. Moody - D. L. Moody was the outstanding
evangelist of his time - in his pioneering endeavour and fervour
Moody has become an enduring figure of stature and inspiration.
Lottie Moon - Lottie Moon was a dark-eyed, raven-haired mischief at
school. Yet she went to China as a missionary to share the good
news of Jesus with thousands of people. Extra Features Includes
