Early life

Jim Elliot was born in Portland, Oregon, to Fred and Clara Elliot. Portland is a city located in the Northwestern United States, near the Confluence of the Willamette and Columbia rivers Oregon ( is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. Fred was of Scottish heritage; his grandparents were the first of his family to settle in North America. The Scots people ( Scots Gaelic: Albannaich) are a Nation and an Ethnic group indigenous to Scotland. Clara's parents moved near the turn of the 20th century from Switzerland to eastern Washington, where they operated a large and successful ranch. The twentieth century of the Common Era began on Switzerland (English pronunciation; Schweiz Swiss German: Schwyz or Schwiiz Suisse Svizzera Svizra officially the Swiss Confederation Washington ( is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. A ranch is an area of landscape including various structures given primarily to the practice of ranching the practice of raising grazing livestock such as Cattle They met in Portland, where Clara was studying chiropractic and Fred, having devoted himself to Christian ministry, was working as a traveling preacher in a small Baptist church. Chiropractic is a Health care profession that focuses on diagnosis treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the Musculoskeletal system, with special emphasis Baptist is a term describing individuals belonging to a Baptist church or a Baptist denomination. After two years of correspondence, they were married in 1918. Robert, their first child, was born in 1921 while they were living in Seattle, and he was followed by Herbert, Jim, and Jane, all three of whom were born after the family moved to Portland. Year 1921 ( MCMXXI) was a Common year starting on Saturday (link will display full 1921 calendar of the Gregorian calendar [1]

Elliot's parents firmly subscribed to Christian beliefs, and they raised their children accordingly, taking them to church and reading the Bible regularly. Etymology According to the Online Etymology Dictionary, the word bible is from Latin biblia, traced from the same word through Medieval Latin and Late Latin Elliot professed faith in Jesus at the age of six and grew up in a home where obedience and honesty were strictly enforced. Jesus of Nazareth (7–2 BC / BCE —26–36 AD / CE) The Elliot parents encouraged their children to be adventurous, however, and as a result they allowed them to be mischievous and encouraged them to appreciate outdoor activities. [2]

In 1941, Elliot entered Benson Polytechnic High School, studying architectural drawing. Benson Polytechnic High School is a Coeducational public Technical school in the Portland Public Schools District The term architecture (from Greek αρχιτεκτονικήarchitektoniki) can be used to mean a process a profession or documentation There he participated in numerous activities, including the school newspaper, the football team, school plays, and the public-speaking club. His acting ability led some of the teachers in the school to suggest that he pursue acting as a career, and his oratorical skills were similarly lauded—after preparing and delivering a speech in honor of President Franklin D. Roosevelt hours after his death, a faculty member called it one of the best speeches he had ever heard. The President of the United States is the Head of state and Head of government of the United States and is the highest political official in United States by [3]

Elliot used his speaking ability regularly, always ready at a moment's notice to discuss Christianity or defend his moral beliefs. He refused to compromise his convictions and was not afraid to launch into a mini-sermon explaining them. A classmate recounts how Elliot quoted the Bible to the president of the student body as explanation for his refusal to attend a school dance. Another time, Elliot risked expulsion from the public-speaking club by refusing to give a political speech, believing that Christians were not to involve themselves in politics. Strongly pacifist, he rejected the idea of using force to eliminate slavery in Africa, and he was prepared to stand as a conscientious objector had he been drafted to serve in World War II. As a social-economic system slavery is a legal institution under which a Person (called "a slave" is compelled to work for another A conscientious objector (CO is an individual who on religious moral or ethical grounds refuses to participate as a combatant in war or in some cases to take any role that would support Conscription (also known as the draft, the call-up or national service) is a general term for involuntary labor demanded by some established authority World War II, or the Second World War, (often abbreviated WWII) was a global military conflict which involved a majority of the world's nations, including [4]

Wheaton

In the fall of 1945, Elliot entered Wheaton College, a private Christian college in Illinois, believing that God had led him there. Year 1945 ( MCMXLV) was a Common year starting on Monday (link will display the full calendar Wheaton College is a private Evangelical Protestant, Coeducational Liberal arts college in Wheaton, Illinois, a Suburb The State of Illinois ( roughly ill-i-NOY is a state of the United States of America, the 21st to be admitted to the Union. He saw his time there as an opportunity to grow spiritually, develop discipline, and prepare for future missions work. He selected his activities with these goals in mind. Believing in the value of physical conditioning, he joined the wrestling team during his first year, even though some considered it unnecessary and even ungodly. The following year, he refused a staff position within the college that would have given him a free year of tuition but also a significant time commitment and what he considered foolish responsibilities. He was not even fully convinced of the value of his studies, considering subjects like philosophy, politics, and culture to be distractions to one attempting to follow God. After a semester of relatively low grades, he wrote to his parents that he was unapologetic, deeming study of the Bible more important. [5]

Elliot's burden for missions solidified during years at Wheaton. He soon followed the pattern of other "faith missions" by not seeking to be sponsored by a denomination. Faith mission is a term used most frequently among Evangelical Christians to refer to a missionary or missionary agency with an approach to Evangelism [6] A member of the campus organization Student Foreign Missions Fellowship, Elliot spoke to an Intervarsity Christian Fellowship group on the role of the Holy Spirit in missions. InterVarsity Christian Fellowship/USA is an interdenominational evangelical Christian student-led ministry dedicated to establishing witnessing communities on college and university campuses In mainstream Christianity, the Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost is one of the three entities of the Holy Trinity which make up the single substance During the summer of 1947, after his second year of college, he and his friend Ron Harris did missions work in Mexico. The United Mexican States ( or commonly Mexico (ˈmɛksɪkoʊ () is a federal constitutional Republic in North America. He stayed there for six weeks, working with and learning from a local missionary family. [7] At the end of the following year, he attended the International Student Missionary Convention, sponsored by InterVarsity. Urbana is a major Christian missions convention sponsored by InterVarsity Christian Fellowship for college students There he met a missionary to Brazil, and this encounter led him to more firmly believe that his missionary calling was to tribal work in South America. |utc_offset = -2 to -4 |time_zone_DST = BRST |utc_offset_DST = -2 to -5 |cctld South America is a Continent of the Americas, situated entirely in the Western Hemisphere and mostly in the Southern Hemisphere, with a [8]

At the beginning of Elliot's third year at Wheaton, he decided to pursue a major in Greek, believing that it would both help him in his personal study of the Bible and make it easier to translate the Scriptures into the language of a people group unreached by missionaries. The Ancient Greek language is the historical stage in the development of the Hellenic language family spanning the Archaic (c One of his classmates was Elisabeth Howard, and despite his belief that romantic relationships often distracted people from pursuing God's will, his interest in her grew. Elisabeth Elliot Gren (née Howard; born December 21, 1926) is a Christian Author and speaker He took advantage of opportunities to get to know her and her family better, but he waited until late in his third year to express his feelings to her. They agreed that they were attracted to each other, but not being convinced of God's leading, they did not pursue a serious relationship. [9]

Preparation

Elliot graduated from Wheaton in 1949 and returned to his family's home in Portland early in the summer. He felt no immediate leading toward missions work and instead devoted more time to reading and study of the Bible. He engaged himself in some odd jobs at his church and worked as a substitute teacher at a local Christian school, but his lack of consistent employment was met with the disapproval of some of his neighbors. He maintained correspondence with Dr. Wilfred Tidmarsh, a missionary to the Quichua of Ecuador, as well as Rowland Hill, a missionary in Bangalore, India, who wanted Elliot to teach biblical Greek in a Bible school he intended to found. Kichwa ( Kichwa shimi, Runashimi, also Spanish Quichua) is a Quechuan language including all Quechua varieties spoken For a topic outline on this subject see List of basic Ecuador topics. Bangalore ( officially Bengaluru ( Kannada: ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು) is the capital of the Indian state of Karnataka. India, officially the Republic of India (भारत गणराज्य inc-Latn Bhārat Gaṇarājya; see also other Indian languages) is a country Elliot was not sure of which path to take and decided instead to wait. [10]

In January 1950, Elliot was accepted to attend Camp Wycliffe, a summer linguistics program sponsored by the Summer Institute of Linguistics and the University of Oklahoma. SIL International (the official name of what was originally the Summer Institute of Linguistics) is a worldwide U University of Oklahoma, abbreviated OU, is a Coeducational public Research university located in the U While not sure whether to attend, his focus on missions was steady—he got involved in InterVarsity, attending many group meetings and conferences during the spring. In April, he turned down an offer of full-time employment for the school in which he had been a substitute teacher, and soon after he decided to attend Camp Wycliffe. [11]

Influences

During his time in college and the years following, Elliot read extensively, and his journals and letters were filled with thoughts on the works he was reading. Besides the Bible, which he memorized and referenced continually, he was impacted by the lives of Christian authors and missionaries such as Amy Carmichael, Hudson Taylor, Jonathan Goforth, and James Orr. Early life Amy Carmichael was born in the small village of Millisle, County Down, Ireland to David and Catherine Carmichael Youth and early work Taylor was born in Barnsley, Yorkshire, England, the son of a chemist ( Pharmacist) and Methodist James Orr (1844&ndash 6 September 1913) was a Scottish Presbyterian minister and professor of Church history and then Theology [12] Other biographies he enjoyed included those of E. H. Broadbent, David Brainerd, J. G. Paton, and Allan Smith. David Brainerd, ( April 20, 1718 &ndash October 9, 1747) was an American Missionary to the Native Americans. Early life John Gibson Paton was born on May 24 1824 in a farm cottage at Braehead Kirkmahoe Dumfriesshire, Scotland. [13] Among non-Christian authors, he mentions in his journal as particularly interesting works by Friedrich Nietzsche, Thomas Hardy, and Ernest Hemingway. Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (October 15 1844 August 25 1900 ( was a nineteenth-century German philosopher and classical philologist Thomas Hardy OM (2 June 1840 – 11 January 1928 was an English novelist Short story writer and poet of the naturalist movement though he saw Ernest Miller Hemingway (July 21 1899 — July 2 1961 was an American novelist short-story writer, and Journalist. [14] In poetry, he read, memorized, and sang hymns,[15] and enjoyed numerous poets—especially Robert W. Service, William Wordsworth, and Edgar Allan Poe,[16] but also J. G. Holland, Rudyard Kipling, Sara Teasdale, John Keble, and Percy Bysshe Shelley. Robert William Service ( January 16, 1874 &ndash September 11, 1958) was a poet and writer Edgar Allan Poe (January 19 1809 – October 7 1849 was an American poet, short-story Writer, editor and Literary critic, Josiah Gilbert Holland, (1819 - 1881 novelist and Poet, born in Belchertown, Massachusetts, helped to found and edit Scribner's Monthly Joseph Rudyard Kipling (30 December 1865 – 18 January 1936 was an English Author and poet Sara Teasdale ( August 8, 1884 – January 29, 1933) was an American lyrical poet.

Leaving for Ecuador

While at Camp Wycliffe, Elliot practiced the skills necessary for writing down a language for the first time by working with a former missionary to the Quichua people. The missionary told him of the Auca people, an indigenous people group in Ecuador that had never had friendly contact with the outside world. The Huaorani, Waorani, or Waos are native Amerindians from the Amazonian Region of Ecuador (in the Oriente region with some marked differences Elliot remained unsure about whether to go to Ecuador or India until July, when he became convinced that God was leading him to Ecuador. His parents and friends wondered if he might instead be more effective in youth ministry in the United States, but considering the home church "well-fed", he felt that international missions should take precedence. [18]

After the completion of his linguistic studies, Elliot applied for a passport and began to make plans with his friend Bill Cathers to leave for Ecuador. However, two months later Bill informed him that he planned to marry, making it impossible for him to accompany Elliot as they had planned. [19] Instead, Elliot spent the winter and spring of 1951 working with his friend Ed McCully in Chester, Illinois, running a radio program, preaching in prisons, holding evangelistic rallies, and teaching Sunday School. Edward "Ed" McCully (1927 &ndash 1956 was an evangelical Christian Missionary to Ecuador who along with four other missionaries Chester is the County town of Cheshire, England. Lying on the River Dee, close to the border with Wales, it is home to 77040 The State of Illinois ( roughly ill-i-NOY is a state of the United States of America, the 21st to be admitted to the Union. [20]

Ed McCully married later that summer, forcing Elliot to look elsewhere for an unmarried man with whom he could begin working in Ecuador. Edward "Ed" McCully (1927 &ndash 1956 was an evangelical Christian Missionary to Ecuador who along with four other missionaries That man turned out to be Pete Fleming, a graduate of the University of Washington with a degree in philosophy. Peter Sillence Fleming (1928-1956 was an evangelical Christian Missionary to Ecuador who along with four others was See Washington (disambiguation for other uses The University of Washington, founded in 1861, is a public research University He corresponded frequently with Elliot, and by September he was convinced of his calling to Ecuador. [21] In the meantime, Elliot visited friends on the east coast, including Elisabeth. In his journal he expressed hope that they would be able to be married, but at the same time felt that he was called to go to Ecuador without her. Elliot returned to Portland in November and began to prepare to leave the country. [22]
