The Waodani used to be called Aucas. They were savage killers, who grew up hating and killing. They speared to death five missionaries in 1956. Afterwards, Nate Saint’s sister, Rachel, went to live with them. They heard about God’s carvings for the first time and began following God’s trail. You can read about it in End Of The Spear by Steve Saint.
