As the series continues in the coming weeks, we'll hear from family, friends and

others who are influenced by Elizabeth's life and message. Today we are still continuing our

extended series about Jim Elliott's Operation Alka and other events during Elizabeth's

time in Ecuador. But this series is just about at an end. And then we'll have some more information

But from my book The Savage My Kinsman, I thought I'd read a description of what

Mankamo did just one day. I sat in my hammock with my notebook and kept a record,
