The Backstory

When my teen-aged sons told me they wanted to play airsoft at an event hosted by a young man named Russell, I immediately started asking questions:

  • Who was he?
  • Where did they meet him?
  • Who else would be there?

My husband and I have homeschooled Roger and Ryan from the start. They’ve been blessed with amazing friends. Over time, I’ve come to appreciate their ability to make wise decisions about relationships.

That said, I’d never met this young man, and I wasn’t quite sure how I felt about dropping them off at his house and driving away. However, my apprehension soon turned to delight….

Meet Russell Winter

Russell Winter greeted us with a big smile — and safety instructions. It was quickly evident that Roger and Ryan would be in good hands. Later, when I picked them up, I chatted a bit with Russell’s father, who told me Russell was a homeschool graduate had just returned from a most amazing adventure.

He and his 70-year-old friend Gary spent seven weeks exploring Ecuador. On their trip, the had the opportunity to meet Mincaye, the last surviving Waodani from the raiding party that killed Nate Saint, Jim Elliot, and the three other men from Operation Auca.

Hearing about his experience launched me into almost three years of research to write the story of his 7-week adventure in a land that is home to one of the greatest missionary stories every told!

FROM THE COMMUNITY OF HOMESCHOOL BLOGGERS

Thank you so very much for writing this curriculum and for sharing it with us….  My kids loved the first two sections and have been pestering me for the rest. It has fundamentally changed the way my children think and deepened their understanding of the concept of forgiveness.

♦ ♦ ♦

We couldn’t put it down for the first two lessons, so my boys and I are excited for the next ones!

♦ ♦ ♦

I wanted to share with you my teen daughter’s reaction when we started reading it together yesterday: “This is fantastic! This is the best thing ever!” And she is always the biggest critic in our family.

    We really enjoyed this study. It is a wonderful Charlotte Mason type unit study that will hold the interest of your children. Read more about my review of this here: http://www.homesteadbountyblessings.com/2017/03/walking-with-waodani-unit-study-review.html

    The week before we received the downloaded pdf file of Walking with the Waodani, our oldest boy had just finished reading ‘Through the Gates of Splendour.’ This book tells the story of ‘Operation Auca,’ and how five American missionaries attempt to reach the Auca people to tell them about Jesus, but sadly, all of these brave men were killed by the tribe. With this knowledge fresh in his mind, we started working through this unit study.

    We found this unit study to be well-written and informative on the subjects it touches and have enjoyed using it.

    My boys and I loved this study. We learned so much about the Waodani’s that we did not know about. We had fun going through the study and reading the books and watching the movies about the Waodani’s.

    Informative AND fun! Just finished this incredible unit study with my student (12 year old boy). We learned so much! It held his interest and was something he looked forward to us doing each week. The creative writing projects were hilarious and actually got him to write without arguing! We followed the unit study by watching End of the Spear. These two partnered well and gave my student an in-depth look into this amazing story – one filled with mercy and forgiveness! Stacy knocks it out of the park again with her fantastic resources!
