Our American Stories
Our American Stories tells stories that aren’t being told. Positive stories about generosity and courage, resilience and redemption, faith and love. Stories about the past and present. And stories about ordinary Americans who do extraordinary things each and every day. Stories from our listeners about their lives. And their history. In that pursuit, we hope we’ll be a place where listeners can refresh their spirit, and be inspired by our stories.

Elisabeth Elliot: Through Gates of Splendor
•
Host- Lee Habeeb
Through Gates of Splendor is a 1957 best-selling book written by Christian missionary, Elisabeth Elliot. In 1967 the book was made into a documentary movie (from Vision Video) that tells the story of Operation Auca, an attempt by five American missionaries to reach the Auca tribe (considered the most dangerous in the world) of eastern Ecuador. All five of the men were killed by the tribe. What happened next is nothing short of miraculous. Here's Elisabeth Elliot to tell us her story.
