MAF has served people in remote areas of the Amazon rainforest in Ecuador since 1948. MAF missionary pilot Nate Saint, and missionaries Jim Elliot, Roger Youderian, Pete Fleming, and Ed McCully were killed by the Waodani tribe in 1956. After their deaths, many in the tribe came to know Christ. The legacy left by these missionaries is still being felt today.
Gilberto Nenquimo, a grandson of one of the members of the 1956 spearing party, continues the ministry of reaching the Waodani with Christ’s love. MAF and Alas de Soccoro, an MAF affiliate program, are with him every step of the way.
