It was my privilege to know Jim Elliot well when I was a small boy (he was one of my Sunday school teachers and I lived in his home with him and his family for a period of time).
One of my favorite Jim sayings is: "Forgive me for being so ordinary while claiming to know such an extraordinary God."
May God richly bless you and your ministry for Him.
Thank you for your lovely memoir of Jim Elliot.
