Mile-High Missionary: A Jungle Pilot'S Memoir

The jungle pilot occupies a high visibility seat. His or her spotlighted role creates the convincing illusion of connection and belonging. But the truth is, he leads a solitary life. He appears suddenly, dropping from the sky. He visits for 15 minutes, meets, greets, loads, then goes. He touches many worlds but rarely becomes part of any. His or her day passes in a separate aerial realm outsiders seldom glimpse and scarcely imagine.Sit in the pilot's seat as this missionary memoir flies you into the Amazon Jungle. Encounter the pilot's view. See what he saw. Hear what he heard. Meet who he met. Feel what he felt as he wrestles with his own hopes and joys, doubts and fears. Experience real bush aviation as this Christian pilot asks:Is my airplane safe to fly?Can I find one tiny scratch of an airstrip hidden in an immense jungle?Do I have enough fuel on board if I have to hunt for it?What if the weather changes?When I get there, can I land without running off the end?When I takeoff, can I clear the trees just beyond runway's end? Am I helping my passengers with their ministry?Does my flying benefit the ex-headhunters I work among?Who am I anyway?Am I honoring Jesus?Read how he juggled safety, service, and ministry while doing a dangerous job.
