SynopsisSeven-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.

Christan Heroes Then and Now Nate Saint: on a Wing and a Prayer
I co-teach a small church English class for internationals. This is a missionary story that takes place in Ecuador. It became a world-wide story in 1956. One man in the class is a very strong Christian from Ecuador who is reading on an elementary level. This book moves him to a high reading level, about which he is thrilled, and was on a subject and in a place near and dear to his heart and mine! The others are happy with it as well because it is an interesting story, which challenges their reading.
What a blessing to have the Christian Heros then and now series. We have really enjoyed reading these books, they have all been written in a really compelling way.
