![]() ![]() It’s hard to describe how huge the tale of these five men is in evangelical Christian circles. This is a story that I’ve known for so long I couldn’t tell you when I first heard it. As Joan Thomas explains in her afterword, the characters in the past are real (though in a fictional presentation) while the characters in the modern scenes are fabricated. The story is told in a mix of perspectives and timelines, both from the wives in Ecuador in the 1950s and their children and grandchildren in a modern day setting. Their deaths were written about in a Life magazine article but what has truly made this story famous was the fact that the widows of those five men continued to work with the Huaroni people, taking their children into the remote jungle and continuing the evangelical mission.įive Wives is a fictional depiction of this story. All five men were killed by members of this tribe, the Huaroni. In 1956, five American missionaries went into the jungle of Ecuador with the goal of evangelizing to an unreached tribe.

Russo's traveling lecture and presentation was a life-changing event for many audience members, who found it liberating.
