Attributable to James Elliot, one of five missionaries killed in action in Ecuador January 8, 1956. The deaths of these missionaries were followed within a decade by the conversion to Christianity of many of the members of the tribe that had killed them. This story is presented in "Through Gates of Splendor" by Elizabeth Elliot (James' widow) and several subsequent books by the same author.

This quote by missionary Jim Elliot emphasizes the importance of making sacrifices for greater spiritual or personal gains that are eternal and cannot be lost. It encourages selflessness and prioritizing intangible values over material possessions. Elliot himself lived out this belief by eventually sacrificing his life while pursuing his mission to share the Gospel.
