Nate Saint : On A Wing And A Prayer
$6.50Read moreSeven-year-old Nate Saint peered wide-eyed over the cockpit of his older brother Sam’s Challenger biplane. The eastern Pennsylvania countryside was spread out neatly below him like a fine tablecloth. Nate was determined to remember every moment of this first high-flying adventure.
Flying soon captured Nate’s heart. His air-service ministry to isolated missionaries put him on a path of destiny that would ultimately end with a final airplane flight with four missionary friends to the Palm Beach landing strip in the jungles of Ecuador.
The men’s lives given that day not only opened a door to the gospel for the unreached Aucas; it has been said that possibly no single event of the twentieth century awakened more hearts to God’s call to serve in missions. (1923-1956).
This best-selling, missionary biography series – Christian Heroes: Then & Now – chronicles the exciting, challenging, and deeply touching true stories of ordinary men and women whose trust in God accomplished extraordinary exploits for His kingdom and glory.
