Nate Saint House Dedication

60 years ago. Five missionary families: Youderian, Saint, Elliot, McCully and Fleming. Missionary pilots.
Hearts on fire for God: listened to the call. 
Shell-Mera, Ecuador. The Waorani Tribe.
Hearts on fire for God: unashamedly reached out to those in the 'ends of the earth'. 
Five murders. Fiver martyrs. Headline News.
Hearts on fire for God: the gospel seed was planted. 
7 of the 9 Waorani murders accepted Christ. 3 generations later- Waorani Youth pastor-also a grandson of one of the 9 murders- preaching to Missionaries in Shell-Mera, Ecuador.
Hearts on fire for God: redemption.
New generations will know the glory & sacrifice to have hearts on fire for God.
Hearts on fire for God: where is God calling you? to whom is God calling you? 


"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose" - Jim Elliot (one of the five martyred)

It was such a blessing to see a mix of cultures and people groups.
