Description
“When I was a boy, I cried. But now I see it well.”
Steve Saint was only five years old when his father was brutally killed by Waodani warriors, men from the most savage culture ever known. But in a story almost too amazing to be true, Steve eventually comes to know – and even love – the very ones who drove the spears into his father’s body.
Decades after their lives were changed by learning to walk God’s trail, the Waodani asked Steve to return to the jungle with his family to live among them and teach them how to interact with the encroaching outside world. Striving to mesh his two very different worlds, Steve must face the tragic events of his past and learn to fully trust God through terrible danger, great loss, and remarkable joy.
Steve Saint grew up in Ecuador in close community with the Waodani. His father, Nate Saint, was martyred while attempting to befriend the Waodani. At the request of the Waodani elders, Steve returned to the Amazon in 1995 with his family. His experiences in the jungle led him to establish I-TEC, a nonprofit organization that assists the “hidden church” in its journey toward independence, self-sustenance, and maturity.
