The Jesus Filmโthe most translated film of all timeโis set to be translated into Waorani, its 2,100th language. Waorani is spoken by approximately 3,000 indigenous people in Amazonian Ecuador. Many will remember that Waorani warriors martyred five American Christian missionaries, including Jim Elliot and Nate Saint, in 1956 for sharing the gospel.
