May God bring up mighty women like Elizabeth Eliott. We need Jesus in this last generation. To God be all the glory and the praise. What a glorious day it will be when we see our beloved family and friends in heaven... soon. This life is so short. This life is a journey... a stepping stone to eternity. He shall wipe every tear from their eyes....
Amen Indeed forever with Our LORD God Almighty,
Yes LORD!!!! Send me a Sober Servant to be a Mighty Warrior Woman for Your Will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. And so it is 🤍
Elizabeth Eliot has taught me the essentials I never learned till I was introduced to aher at age 72, I thank Mrs Eliot for her forthright teaching of the woman I should have been. Thank you for shedding light even at this stage of my life.Cara Berton
Amen 🙏
You are absolutely right!
Thank you, Elisabeth, for showing us that suffering for Jesus, with Jesus, is never in vain.
Well there’s only war veterans in heaven
What a veteran
This was the most beautiful, elegant tribute to a most remarkable woman. I celebrate her home coming. Thank you for posting this video.
Thank u for sharing this. Im from palawan, philippines. Next to the Bible it was the journals of jim elliot that i loved when i was just 16 years old. And had all of the books of elisabeth. She is a blessing. In 2011 i gave birth to my daughter, i named her Valerie.
That is beautiful. I named my daughter Grace Ann Elisabeth after Elisabeth Elliot. I then corresponded with Elisabeth Elliot and she sent Let me be a Woman to my Grace and I gave it to her when she was 16.
Beautiful Elizabeth at rest from her labors. Thank you dear saint for showing us from your heart words that describe a life of beauty from ashes.
Thanks for sharing this video. Although I have not met Elizabeth in person, I would say she deep impact in my life and has mentored me through her books that i've read. Her book, "Shadow of the Almighty" has not only inspired and gave me courage but also gave me strength to push through my calling to go to India as a missionary in 1996. After that i went to East Asia for 12 yrs. Betty earth's loss is heaven's gain. We miss you but we know that you have seen the Lover of your soul whom you've loved and serve all these years.
I had the great honor of sitting next to Elizabeth Elliot in a church in NYC back in the 1980's - ♡♡♡
Thank You Lord for your servant who helped many including me, reminding us that you are working in us for your good pleasure, never giving up on us. Mark
God , Thankyou for give us Your Word .
Cried and laughed throughout this beautiful memorial for Elizabeth Elliot Leach ... I was a student at Gordon Conwell when Elizabeth had just married Lars.... she inspired everyone. She was such a star to us. I admit I was in awe of her. Thank you soooo much for sharing this ... I’ll never forget it.
My wife and I named our daughter Hannah Elizabeth. Hannah, after her paternal grandmother, and Elizabeth after Mrs. Gren. (My wife did not want people to be confused by spelling it with an ‘S’.) Elisabeth had a profound effect on my wife and her Christian development. Likewise, I grew up listening to ‘Gateway to Joy’ and Elisabeth’s calming voice over the airwaves. Later, I would have the opportunity to get to know members of the Saint family, and some who had been fellow missionaries with Elisabeth in Ecuador, which in an odd way made me feel a stronger connection to Elisabeth. Her grace, candor, and absolute abandonment to Christ will be her mark on me, my wife and hopefully, our daughter.
She lived life to the full... She was so blessed. Love listening to her teachings
Like her first husband Jim Elliott, Elisabeth received the Well Done call of Jesus and entered into God's rest. Her life and life-long ministry was a great inspiration and a blessing to many, and I for one hang by her words and those of Jim Elliott. Thank you Father for these lives shown to us as testaments of your grace and your enabling power.
Awe-inspiring. While Elisabeth was contemplating being a total failure, God responded: "...that you may know and believe Me and understand who I am." She then realized and confessed, "I need to know the character and the ways of my God, so that I am not shaken."
Oh my! I was searching online for a bible studies series and came across this most moving service. I did not know about the entire life story of Elisabeth. I bought one of her books in the 90s and loved it. I had no idea about the depth of her marvelous devotion and service to the Lord as a missionary. I have been blessed and inspired tonight ✝️.
I'm thrilled that you made this available. I watched it live-streamed and was so moved. As a fourth grader when the five missionaries were martyred, I determined to give my life to God's service. God has used Elisabeth's writings and talks to keep encouraging me to live for eternity not earth.
+Marcia Hornok Thank you for sharing that!!
Indeed, a life well lived.
To God be the glory!
My eyes are raining diverse kind of drops...I feel the presence of the Holy Spirit in the midst of them... they are sweet tears.... loving kind tears... of gratitude to God for her life, her inspiring inheritance to her family.... I love her pointing to God when people applauded for her anointed messages... I love her and all the stories from her, Jim Nate Saint, Ed. McCollum , and their lives.... I’m blessed to hear about your inspire lives. Thanks
how beautiful! what a testimony to our wonderful God.
Yes! The wonderful things Abba does through us when we, mere flesh and blood yield our lives to Him. 🙏
The violinist resembles Richard Basehart . Great piece. Love to Elisabeth's family and loved ones. See you in Heaven, Elisabeth.
What a treasure of encouragement in the Lord! Thanking God for Elisabeth and Jim Elliot and all their extended family and friends. Glory to our wondrous beyond all description God!!!
I have been reading his diary. What an amazing man.
@@geenonar amen!!!
My dear daughter, Brynde'
Invited me to HER church,
Big Baptist, in downtown Jacksonville, Fla when Miss Elliot had visited their church. I had read one of her books and of course I was so aware of the news of her husband's death.....
At the hands of the people they had given their young lives to bring to Jesus. I was sooo sad for them when that happened. I was 20 yrs her junior at the time and still had not learned yet that my life was not my own. What wonderful ladies all these young women were. What a credit to the Lord Jesus and His Kingdom. What a blessing to me that I was privileged to hear her speak at Big Baptist💝......thank you,
Brynde' for taking me to see her and learn more about her. YOU are a credit to our heavenly Father who promises to be a Father to the fatherless. And your Mama loves you.🙌🏻💝👑
What a lovely tribute to a phenomenal woman.
What a beautiful soul she was.
Thank you for the witness of a life well lived.
Have watched this several times now. Absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing it. What a treasure she was.
And what a treasure her friends are!
Thank you for sharing this with the world. She was a true inspiration as well as her husband and his colleagues, and their children. A very hard life for her, but the glory she and her family brought to our Lord.
She taught me just what I needed to place my hope in heaven and service to others here...what a difference it's made! I'm happy that I'll be able to thank her one day.
What an inspiration! We can live for Christ through it all.
Thank you so much for sharing this. What a wonderful tribute to an ordinary woman wholly submitted to God and made remarkable by God. I go through her messages over and over again.
Meditation from Thais by Massenet I believe is the prelude. Thank you so much for this beautiful tribute. Our oldest daughter used to go to the corner of the living room every day and listen to her radio program. Her influence for God and for good was profound.
Father, mold me into a woman like that. I want my life to be used like this.
+Kristen Lisemby Lee I couldn't agree more!!! Bless you!!!
Stupid comment, she was human just like the rest of us.
jensmom604 if you had met her you might feel different. She was a remarkable, gifted, consecrated woman though human and flawed like all of us. She was exemplary.
I have been learning about Elisabeth Elliot and my respect for the way she poured herself into other people's lives has caused me to reflect on my own walk. She certainly was a woman of enormous courage. Be careful with what you ask for though. In order to be molded into a servant of the Most High, one has 2b self sacrificial and endure under great trial. There is a cost that one has to be willing consider... 🌷
Her message rings clear, there is unexplainable suffering in the path of those who give their lives back and make the promise and prayer of use me Lord, I will do Your Will, no matter what the cost. I will go where You send me.
As I go where He has sent me, thru the refining fire, alive but with scars, I continue to learn how He is with me always and how He is ultimately in control. That I have value because of Him. That the battle is His, and I can rest.
So much emphasis in today's Christianity is on happiness, being comfortable in the world and victory in Him being the same thing. All emotions are part of being human. Sadness and crying are not shameful. That idea hurts people that are hurting already. Depression and physical illness are not separate in person's body. Sadness should not be a sin or be thought of as evidence of lack of faith. In many many situations, suffering and sadness is more a part of the journey of true faith and paying the price in your personal and professional life in this present darkness.
Amazing testimony of a godly woman. Thank you for sharing this.
Elizabeth was a wonderful lady !! I was saved 47 years ago and am almost 76,now. I used to hear her on the radio and always have been inspired by her !! I just watched the messages before this service for her Home going ! Both Wonderful Blessings !! Our church sings the song " Jesus - What a Wonderful Savior " often. So - Beautiful; but HE more So !!
Beautiful tribute. Much appreciation to her wise counsel.
This is an encouragement to continue in the faith strong! Thank You for sharing 😊
thank you so much for making this video available. Her sharing lessons have been a huge encouragement for me to desire to come closer to the Lord. Praise God for her life.
All of this was so impactful. Elisabeth's ministry continues. Joni's best talk that I have heard.
🎀🕯️ A great inspirational servant of God I miss in time but not forever. God bless her life forever and dearly missed in time. Happy late of time for a new beginning that never ends.
She was a mother of my heart too. I love her preaching and teaching of God, it helps me to grow in knowledge and his love.
🕊️☁️ God bless
So wonderful to watch this inspiring and beautiful memorial service. Thank God for Elisabeth Elliot and her life of love and service.
Appreciate her wise counsel.
❤❤very blessed by great words of ELIZABETH ELLIOT 🎶🙏🏾🎶
What a beautiful life well lived for Jesus Christ! She touched the hearts of many people who knew her and ministered to and her testimony is still vibrant for many others today.
Oh how I Love Jesus by the life i have seen through your servant Elisabeth Elliot.
What a precious time! I’m so grateful to have been able to listen to this. I shall treasure this video always!
I was so moved by this video. I really love Elizabeth Elliot, I always listen to her "gateway of joy" and a peaceful home video. She really love God. I admire her, how she raised her daughter Valerie. Elizabeth and her daughter Valerie inspired me how to be a good mother and a wife. God use them to spread the gospel and how to be a Godfearing woman. She's with the Lord now.
She SLEEPS in the Lord.
Thank you Lord for giving us EE such an amazing follower of Jesus. I love her speech. She’s such a wonderful speaker, eloquent, articulate, picturesque! Praise to God!
What a wonderful life she has made me ponder! I look forward to hearing more of her talks.
Thank you for putting this out here. I recently discovered this wonderful woman who was Elizabeth Eliot, and I have just been gleaning from all I can find on her in this www. This is simply soulful. I am simply so blessed. Best regards all the way from Cameroon, Africa
Just recently read ‘Through Gates of Splendour’ which inadvertently led me here… what a wonderful legacy those 5 men left through their martyrdom 🙏🏽
looking forward to meeting them all soon.
I so very much appreciate your having put this on RUclips for us to see. I graduated from the same high school, Hampden DuBose Academy, that Betty did and recall her visits to the school with Valerie, when I was a student. Betty would also make audio tapes to send to the school telling us about her and Valerie's lives among the Aucas. I'll never forget her telling about being given the choicest part of monkey meat, the head. As it was an honor to be served this portion, Betty ate it with aplomb while all the Aucas watched closely. It was rumored at our high school that Betty, on a dare when a student, swallowed a live gold fish from the patio pool. Our Lord, chose His servant well.
I bet that goldfish didn't like her so much.
Oh dear! I wouldn't have eaten a monkey's head 🙊 for anything in the world! Not only is iit not food according to God's Word (Lev 11) but it is a rather repulsive thought. 😳💭
I watched a show a while back (Meat Ester) where a tribe in a remote island roasted a whole monkey entrails and all. They served their caucasian guest some and he reluctantly ate. It was beyond gross 😝 Our Lord doesn't call us to do such things. That is on us.
I loved Arleta's speech. Wish I had known them.
Thank you for posting this. It brought tears to my eyes more than once. Beautiful. God Bless
Honoring Elisabeth Elliott for inspiring me for many years in the 1990’s!
Eluzabeth Elliot is my heroine! God bless you in Heaven!
I’m in the UK only just discovered Elizabeth & Jim Elliot last week , already read In the shadow of the Almighty, amazing inspirational Christians.
Her talks and writings deeply influenced me in my formative young adult years. How blessed I was to sit under some of her teaching and wisdom. And now blessed to learn so much more about her through this incredible tribute. Thank you!
Thank you for putting this out here. Watching this several times now and being encouraged every time I watch it. Love Elisabet Elliot and her books so much❤️
It was a Honour to listen and participate.
I am sad, not even knowing this lady, but I know the stories she told and the wonderful counsel she gave.
A woman of faith! May she rest in eternal peace!! Thanks for sharing this video and her other videos. Gave me insights and inspiration to keep my faith in our Almighty Heavenly Father God! Just trusting our ever Living -Loving God!! 🇵🇭
Thanks Lord for giving her to us to strengthen and build up His body! What a testimony! In deed she finished her race well as God’s witness. May all we follow her step to trust and love our Lords. She is in His presence now
Thank you Ma'am Elizabeth! And thanks be to God for your wisdom and example! I wish I had access to the videos when I was struggling to be a single mother! May the Lord bless you in Eternity.
Very moving! I enjoyed learning more about this saint.
What an elegant farewell. Loved it!
Beautiful celebration of her life! PTL👏👏👏👏👏👏👏☝️💖🍇
My God, this so deep, Lord i want to make it to heaven to be with all the holy spirits of theses people and our Father Jesus Christ. i love her and i dont know her.
Thank u for this glorious memorial service to one of my favorite female saints. I am 78 and have been blessed by her over the yrs. What a great inspiration she has been and her family also. I am a male who has been blessed by my dear sister and share her recordings with my own grandkids.
Thank you very much for sharing lovely and very encouraging to me and to others
My life blessed by meeting this sweet woman of God...heard her speak at Gordon College and met her twice after visiting her in her Magnolia home with my sisters In Christ Helen T and Jan...what a blessing 🙌 💖
Our God is Sovereign and Lord over all ! He knoweth the way that I take, therefore,
He has my complete trust in whatsoever path He leads me through ! Amen . . ,
I luv'd Elizabeth Elliot and all that she stood for Thank you Father for her & her family in Jesus Name ❤ ❤
Thank you for sharing this...so we who couldn’t be in body, can now be blessed of this celebration & so long!... I think No! I’m sure I. Slower learner than Donna Otto. This has encouraged my journey... thank you everyone for sharing about our dear Elizabeth Elliot. I am fortunate to k ow her through gate way to go... God reminded me when my son of 12 at a time had cancer ... why not me? I love you & miss Gate Way to Joy , dear Elizabeth. I’m thankful for a Nancy & ROH... yet I miss you... my spiritual radio mom🥰😇👏🙏🙏🏼🙏🏾☝️🍇💖🥰😎💫
What an awesome testimony of a life dedicated to Jesus our Christ!
What I've seen of this lady....heaven certainly has gained an Angel❤️and she certainly done did a good grand job for Christ while here.
Elisabeth and Jim are sitting on the right hand of the Lord with the crowns of righteousness on their heads.
You don't know much about heaven, or the Bible, do you!!!? They are resting peacefully in God's mighty hand along with everyone else who ever died in the Lord. No one sits at the right hand of God but Christ. And maybe a prophet or two. But that's ALL! She and Jim are no exception. Don't be so incorrect.
Ma Wi When my husband’s younger brother passed, his friend and pastor said, “When his eyes open, he will see his Lord and Savior.” I loved that because the tiny question of a contradiction between the thief on the cross and what Jesus said to him, and other parts of the Bible which speak of the rapture are not easy. What is easy, is not saying anything if you can’t say something nice. Speak the truth in love. It’s one thing to gossip about such an amazing woman as Elisabeth Elliot and think you’re helping; Elisabeth will surely forgive you; but in these comments???
@@mawi1172 Nihilism is not Biblical. Neither is soul-sleep.
Thanks for sharing. So beautiful! I have been listening to Elisabeth Elliot’s talks recently and got lots of inspirations from her. Never seen such a beautiful funeral service in Chinese culture. This beauty and fragrance is particular to Christian culture. God, help me Stand firm in faith.
A great woman of God.
So true! I’m a better person for having met Elizabeth Elliot. PTL even though as slow learner or to do the lesson, I have looong way to go.
What a life well lived! We need more women like her especially her sense of humor!
She was a woman faith ,hope,smart,faithful,funny and impeccable 💕🙏🏾
Just beautiful, what a lovely family, you all are so blessed :)
well she finally has met the person she have been lookin for
Not yet.....
What a gift she was and is

Uma vida a serviço do Senhor Jesus. Louvado seja o Senhor pela vida de Elisabeth Elliot!
T
At 36:00 How beautiful are the feet was beautifully sung, and how appropriate.
All the other old hymns are beautiful and touching.
Found those treasures now.
Nataly .We want to succeed without training and victory, but without self-denial, but all we need is to follow Christ no matter the price..
That was beautiful!
Just learning about Ms. Elizabeth in 2022 and the incredible lives in twined in the 1956 death of five faithful missionaries. Very encouraging and inspiring. How great is our God? So very great!
Amen! Me too 😊
Music Beautiful and singing Beautiful. So respectfully done for A Amazing Lady. Her Smile i can imagine frames her memorial Service. Wonderful Family she has. Thank you for Such a Glimpse in to her Beautiful Teaching and her Beautiful show and Tell Life. Not sure i am spelling her Last husbands name right Lars? But what a Man seeing this Lady through her life. Always at the book table keeping her in tune with the time she had left to talk. His humour at being the third. Husband. And Her humour at being given 3 husbands and some still waiting on a Date. Home now where she Belongs Thank you Elisabeth..
Bless you women of God🙏
Somehow, I missed the death of this remarkable woman. I’m only half way through the recording, and have found each persons’ contribution to be inspiring and confirming of her life ‘well lived.’
I only became re-acquainted with E.E. recently, in my own time of grief and need to be reminded of those deep and powerful truths of laying down our lives, so we can be what God intends. “Accepting brings peace.” Thank-you.
Walt's share ! perfect
I was in Pennsylvania for 6 months last year. I used to hear E. Elliott's messages (15min approx each) around 7:45 or 8PM, can't remember, in a local radio (can't remember either). Those messages were so great I wish I could hear all of them again.
Only this year I learned Ms. Elliott passed away the year before (2015), so the messages were recoreded, not live. Still they were absolutely full of bless and peace.
Question: where can I find them again?
Thanks and blessings!
Thanks! Just subscribed. God bless you in Jesus name.
I just downloaded the app. What an amazing treasure trove of Biblical teaching!
Strider M... me too. Just subscribed. Can't get enough of her speeches/ teachings.
A life we'll lived as Christ has taught her.
She was a true modern day general of the cross of Jesus CHRIST our LORD-and SAVIOUR
