Beyond the Gates of Splendor is a documentary based on Elizabeth Elliot's best-selling book, Through Gates of Splendor. Both tell the true story of 5 missionaries: Jim Elliot, Pete Fleming, Ed McCully, Nate Saint, and Roger Youderian, who in January 1956 were speared to death in the jungles of Ecuador by the Auca Indians.

In a testament to forgiveness, the documentary shows family members of the slain missionaries return to the Amazon basin and live among the Auca tribe. Their evangelistic efforts eventually help Christianity to flourish among the native people.

In this particular scene, Frank Drown, a pilot and missionary friend, recalls leading the search-and-rescue team in an effort to find the five slain missionaries: "They [the slain missionaries] had guns with them. They had said that they would never kill the Aucas, even if they attacked them, because they made this strong statement: 'They're not ready for heaven, and we are.'"

Elapsed time: This scene starts at 01:01:15, and ends at 01:01:29, and is part of scene 12 on the DVD.
