Operation Auca // January 8, 1956

from Traveler’s Tales · host Enjoying the Journey

On January 8th, 1956, Operation Auca ended with the death of 5 men: Jim Elliot, Nate Saint, Pete Fleming, Ed McCulley, and Roger Youderian. It was not a military operation; it was a missionary operation. While their lives ended that day, their record stands in Heaven, and their legacy carries on today. On this, the 70th Anniversary of that day, we share that story and a bit about each of the men on Traveler's Tales. Read more about these men HERE.
