Taking Young Life to the same Amazonian village where missionary Jim Elliot and four others were martyred

"I had the opportunity to share a few days with the people of the Waorani community and believe me when I tell you that it is the best experience of my life. Felipe is the spiritual leader of this community, son of Mincaye who was an Ecuadorian Waorani preacher and church elder who participated in the attack on five missionaries during Operation Auca in 1956. Hearing the story firsthand was impressive to me and sharing time with Ñeñe, Mincaye's wife, is something I will not forget." – Carmita Noemi Castro

"When we got married, we knew our adventurous hearts were going to lead us to experience breathtaking things and these photos represent this year full of love, forgiveness, patience, empathy and more."
– David and Carmita
