The Mission Ratings & Reviews

  • Kevin WardJuly 2, 2025
    Pretty fascinating look at a man who lost his life either out of misguided foolhardiness or a prophetic higher calling. Whether he should be held up as an cautionary tale or an exemplary demonstration of faith rests almost entirely in perspective. In either case, it’s very sad to think about.
