Nate Saint: Operation Auca

Book Description Publication Date: November 14, 2012 | Series: Torch Bearers Nate Saint peered eagerly over the edge of his brother Sams Challenger biplane. His heart thumped against his ribs in anticipation of takeoff. It was Nates first flight but it would be one of many that would eventually take him into the jungles of Ecuador to bring the truth of Gods Word to the elusive Auca tribe On January 8, 1956, Nate and some other missionaries landed at strip of sand that they had named Palm Beach. This was Nates final flight for he and the other missionaries on the plane that day were martyred when Auca tribesmen attacked them with spears. However the work of evangelism continued. Many heard Nates story and became missionaries. Others heard Gods Word and came to accept Christ including several of the Auca men who had thrown their spears on that terrible day.
