On January 8, 1956, five American missionaries, as part of “Operation Auca,” aimin to establish peaceful contact with the Waorani (also known as Huaorani or Auca), an isolated indigenous group in the Ecuadorian Amazon, and share their Christian faith, were killed by members of the tribe. The events surrounding the missionaries’ deaths and the subsequent work of Elisabeth Elliot and Rachel Saint laid the foundation for the founding of ITEC (International Training and Education Center), which continues to work with the Waorani people today.
