Nate Saint
Narration by Superkid
1-29-08
He was only 7 years old so he had to wait for Sam to lift him up into the seat of the airplane. He sat in the airplane excitingly as he waited for his brother, Sam, who was a flight instructor to start the plane. Eventually he was old enough to join the army as a pilot. But, he had an infection when he was a little kid and it came back. So, he had to stay in bed and go to the doctor instead of joining the army. Soon it went away and then he went to a conference and decided to be a missionary. Then his dad sent him a letter containing a piece of newspaper with a picture of the Missionary Aviation Fellowship. Nate Saint thought and knew that God was telling him he would be able to fly and do God's will. He soon joined the Missionary Aviation Fellowship (MAF) and moved to Ecuador. Nate's sister, Rachel, was already in missionary work too. She was working with another kind of indian tribe. Rachel and Nate soon met up and Rachel said that she thought God had something else for her. Then Nate told his sister about the Auca tribe. The Auca tribe were some very fierce indians that always would try to kill anyone who were in their area. Rachel said I think that is the people who God wants me to work with. They went up flying around the area where the Auca tribe were. Nate said, "there's your tribe." and pointed down below the trees. One time Nate was flying around the area where Nate and his family lived and he looked down at a river and it looked like there were clearings. Nate knew that the Auca tribe had been clearing the area down to the river. The next time he was flying, he decided to go around the area where he saw the clearings. He followed the clearings and found their village. He went home to talk with everyone else about the plan. They all decided that the bucket drop that he had made earlier would be perfect to drop gifts for the Auca tribe. They made a gift drop every week and Nate Saint looked for a good spot to land. Finally he found a place to land. Then they made a big tree house so they could meet together. The next day they waited outside for the Auca tribe. Rachel had found a Auca woman who ran away from the tribe and began to live with her. So now Rachel knew some Auca words and taught Nate Saint and his friends how to speak them. They all sat in the tree house yelling the words, "We want to meet you." and "We are friendly." No one came that day. So, the next day they came back and yelled the same words. Finally they saw two woman and one man coming out of the jungle. They met together fine and wanted to meet together the next day. The next day they came and no one was there. They went around to the village and there was nothing there, so they thought the whole village was coming to the tree house. But what they didn't know is that they were going to be killed. Two woman came there and tried to occupy them. Then the men came up behind them. One fell on a log. All five men turned around to look at what was happening. Then they all got speared to death. The girl who had run away came back and that's how Rachel began to be with them and make them believe in Christ.
Would you recommend this book?
Yes, because I think it has a good mix of things that some of us like and the will of God.
