This film glorifies God and tells the story of the missionaries powerfully and with dignity. The following Christian Leaders have actually SEEN the film, and know about Chad, and here is what they have said about the film.

"I have never cried more during a movie in my life. It took me about an hour to recover. You are going to see authentic Christianity in action. It is very important that you see End of the Spear - Ted Haggard, Senior Pastor of New Life Church, Author

"A wonderful movie about love and forgiveness...a story that will challenge your faith...Go see it and tell everybody you know." Dr. Joyce Meyer, Author and Speaker

End of the Spearis one of the most entertaining and inspiring stories that I have ever seen. I recommend it to everyone." Joel Osteen, Senior Pastor, Lakewood Church

End of the Spear isn't just a good movie, but an EXCELLENT one! It's my hope that tens of millions of young people around the world will see this riveting movie and that it will be used by God to launch a million missionaries who will perform even greater exploits for Jesus Christ. Take your children and a couple of their friends and experience this compelling story." - Dr. Dennis Rainey, President, Family Life

"Unconditional love and forgiveness have never been more vividly portrayed than in "End of the Spear." - Dick Rolfe, President, Dove Foundation

(Steve) Saint, who has befriended Allen, hopes that the film will help people see “that all of us have tragic, shattered relationships in our lives and that God is the one who can put them back together in incredible ways.”

“If Mincaye and I can be very close friends, be family, love each other, and my kids and my grandchildren can love Mincaye and his family -– if that can happen out of the tragic relationship that we started with –- then maybe it’ll give people hope that their strained relationships can also be reconciled and that, better yet, God can be part of the answer,” Saint said in an interview with the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association’s Decision magazine.STEVE SAINT, son of Nate Saint

Thanks for posting those brief reviews. It is sad that people are so wrapped up in the sexuality of the actor who plays this role that they will not see the movie. That seems to me to be hypocritical.

If the telling of a fine story, as this one is, is the goal, then the personal life of an ACTOR in the film is irrelevant. The film stands on its own merits. Most people will never hear of this ACTOR's off-screen life. Why would they care? On-screen he is Nate Saint, a Christian hero. That is who the movie-goers will see.

Homosexuality may be a sin. It may be abhorrent to many. It is not depicted in this film. There is no homosexuality in the film. There is a homosexual actor playing a Christian missionary whose dedication cost him his life. Feh!

Jesus would go to this film, I'm quite sure. Pity that many Christians won't.
