Seven-year-old Nate Saint peered wide-eyed over the cockpit of his older brother Sam's Challenger plane. 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.

  On A Wing and A Prayer
Lysa W. of Oregon, 1/8/2011
This books and others in the series have been favorites for myself and my children as read alouds. It is a chance for us to learn about people who have dedicated their lives to the Lord while combining information about various countries and cultures. My 9 & 7 yr old often request this one. The story of Nate Saint has really struck them. I am grateful to have books that are appropriate for children but do not sugarcoat what it means to give your life fully to Christ. Reading these books with my children helps me to remember how the Lord works the thread of our lives together to accomplish His will. It continually challenges me to seek the Lord for what He wants for my children...not just what I want for them.
