Nathanael Saint (August 30, 1923 – January 8, 1956) was an evangelical Christian missionary pilot to Ecuador who, accompanied by four others, was killed while attempting to evangelize the Huaorani people through efforts known as Operation Auca. Nate Saint was born in 1923.
When he was seven he took his first plane ride with his brother Sam, who would eventually become a commercial pilot for American Airlines.
While in the airplane he discovered a love of flying.
His family was somewhat unusual.
His brothers made a sleeping patio on the roof of their home, and his dad built a roller coaster in the backyard.
When he joined the army he was stationed in Las Vegas NV, but was transferred to several other locations over the years.
A leg injury from a sledding accident caused him some problems while he was in the army.
About a year before he was discharged, he almost died while climbing a mountain in Yosemite National Park.
After that incident he learned to live life to the fullest.
