I'm doing a study of Roger Youderian. He was one of the 5 men that were killed while reaching out to the Aucas. In this paragraph I will cover his background before he came to Ecuador. On January 21, 1924 a servant of God was born. Born in Sumatra, Montana his family was of Armenian descent. In 1943 he joined as a paratrooper in the USA Army. Stationed in England he participated in the Rhine Jump and the Battle of the Bugle. While in the Army he assisted a Chaplin. In 46 he left and went back to school till 1950 eventually in 1953 becoming a missionary to Ecuador.
When he left America had a wife and a daughter. While there he taught the Shuar people about Christ. on the third of January, 1956 he landed near an Auca camp and after 3 days met an Auca. 2 days after that 
he was speared while trying to get help. He died at age thirty-one, giving all to him.
