Timeline

1951

Stephen Farris Saint (born January 30, 1951) is an Ecuadorian-born business entrepreneur, pilot, and author.

He is known for being the son of Nate Saint, a famous missionary pilot, as well as for his own work among indigenous tribes.

Steve was born in Quito, Ecuador, at a mission hospital.

He was the second of Nate and Marj Saint's three children.

He has an older sister, Kathy, and a younger brother, Philip.

The family lived in Quito where his father was a missionary pilot with Mission Aviation Fellowship.

1956

In 1956, his father and four other missionaries were killed by Waodani Indians during Operation Auca, during an effort to make peaceful contact with them.

After the death of Saint's father, the family moved to Quito where Saint attended school.

It was during this time that his aunt, Rachel Saint, and Elisabeth Elliot successfully made peaceful contact with the Waodani and were living with them in the jungle.

At 10 years of age, Saint first went to live with the Waodani, staying with them during the summers.

He learned about living in the jungle, and also developed relationships with many members of the tribe.

1965

In June 1965, "Babae", as he was called by the tribe, was baptized in the Curaray River by Kimo and Dyuwi, two of his father's killers who had since converted to Christianity.

1973

After graduating from Alliance Academy in Quito, Steve Saint moved to the United States to attend Wheaton College where in 1973 he received a Bachelor of Arts degree in economics.

Soon after graduation, he returned to Ecuador and worked for a time as a tour guide.

It was there that he met and married his wife Virginia Lynn Olson (known as Ginny) who was from Minnesota and visiting Ecuador on a short-term mission team.

Shortly after the birth of their first child, the Saints returned to the United States and lived in Minnesota where Saint began a successful career as a businessman.

They later moved to Ocala, Florida.

1994

In 1994, Rachel Saint died in Ecuador after spending 36 years with the Waodani.

Saint immediately traveled to Ecuador to bury her.

It was then that the Waodani tribe who had known Saint as a child asked him to move his family down to live with them.

1995

After talking the decision over with his family, he accepted the tribe's invitation, moving to the jungle in 1995.

Saint worked with the Waodani to improve their living conditions by building a community center and develop a desperately needed economy.

1996

Saint left Ecuador in 1996, feeling that his continued presence in the tribe would hinder their progression towards self-independence.

He has, however, made several subsequent trips, and continued to work with the tribe.

On one such trip, he was helping a group of Waodani Indians put together their own airplane in Shell.

A group of Quechua Indians approached him and asked why they could not build an airplane for their tribe.

Saint replied that they could, and this was when Saint discovered the need for a global effort aimed at teaching practical skills to indigenous people.

Shortly later he founded the Indigenous People's Technology and Education Center, Inc. (I-TEC) whose projects include an airworthy flying car, the I-Fly Maverick.

Saint was seeking backing for commercial production.

2004

Saint appeared in and narrated the 2004 documentary film Beyond the Gates of Splendor.

2005

In 2005 he published his memoirs, a book titled End of the Spear.

2006

In 2006 there was a major film adaptation of the book, and Saint was heavily involved in the production process.

He was also the stunt pilot who flew the replica of his father's PA-14 in the film.

He has also authored other books including Walking His Trail.

Saint has been especially close to Mincaye, one of the Waodani tribesmen who killed his father.

He and Mincaye have made several appearances together in television interviews and at Christian concerts throughout the world.

Steve now often visits churches to talk about his life.

2012

On June 13, 2012, Saint was seriously injured by a falling piece of equipment while testing it.

He was partially paralyzed from the neck down and was scheduled for surgery on June 20, 2012, to relieve pressure on his spine.

By September 2012 his recovery was underway.
