Nate Saint's words

just wanted to share something that really touched me this morning. its from the book " Jungle Pilot" 1994 discovery house publishers pg 138 p2



Nate Saint, a pioneer pilot from Missionary Aviation ellowship, ( MAF) had been in a narley crash and was dictating to his wife ( because he was in a cast) a letter to hi parents.



his last paragraph touched me...

" We'll appreciate your continued intercession. Pray with us that God will, out of the debris of this battle, challenge the hearts of many who still dont know the blessing of all-out abandonment to the Lord Jesus Christ and to the job He wants us to do in simple obedience. The world is dying for want of a Savior-yet so many who profess to love Him are still living "business as usual " lives, cheating themselves of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."



this was an amazingly dedicated Christian man who abandoned it all for Christ.......



sooooooo how does this apply to you?

what do you have to say?
