…Auf Wiedersehen, adieu. Adieu, adieu, to you and you and you.” – The Sound of Music.
Dear readers,
We have come down to the epitome of our blog.
Hopefully by now you have grasped a concise, if not brief, idea about the life of Steve Saint and his most prominent characteristics of genuine saving faith according to the book of James.
To the untrained eye, our blog may seem long, boring and unsightly, therefore, we will summarize our main points in 200 words or less. Hopefully.
Trials
1. Steve’s father was killed by the Waodani, a native Ecuadorian tribe.
- Steve persevered through times of strife and did not blame God for his father’s death.
Nate Saint
2. Steve’s daughter died due to a cerebral hemmorhage.
- Steve used his daughter’s death as a spark to rekindle his passion for preaching and reconnected his heart with God.

Impartiality
1. The Waodani were savages who killed Steve’s father and 4 other missionaries.
- Steve went back to Ecuador to live with the Waodani and did not judge them as murderers, but rather, saw them as new opportunities to gain friends and spread the Word of God.

2. Mincaye was one of the Waodani involved with the death of Nate Saint. Steve’s father.
- Steve forgave Mincaye and did not hate him for taking away his father. Rather, he accepted Mincaye into his family and his heart.

Good Works as a Product of Faith
1. Steve preached to many communities
- Steve travelled with Mincaye and sometimes Steven Curtis Chapman to preach the Word of God and about how God had helped him get through many difficult trials so that unbeliever could come to know Christ like him.

2. Steve helps the Waodani and other nations in the Americas and Africa
- Steve had a company called I-TEC which helped the Waodani become more technolgically advanced, build churches, and become stronger Christians so they could spread the Word of God. Steve knew true Christians helped those who were needy and unbelievers.

Now, you make be asking yourself, did Steve Saint only possess these three evidences of genuine saving faith? The answer is NO!!!
Steve showed every evidence of genuine saving faith mentioned in James. He’s an exemplary Christian who lives his life for Christ, first and foremost. He, himself, said that sufferings are “blessings” from God. Steves life was shaped by James 4:17 and verses like it — “Anyone who knows the good he ought to do but doesn’t do it, sins”. We should all follow the advice mentioned in James because like Steve we could all have an amazing relationship with God where there’s 100% trust and love.

Steve Saint's FAQ 
Goshh, this is LOOOONG! But, it was worth reading because i got to know another genuine Christian who lived for God’s words. Your profile picture of Steve Saint helped me to connect with this blog entry..maybe it was because of his smile and his personality was shown through it.
I strongly admired his willingness to travel and spreaded the words of God and hadn’t treated others differently because of their status. He didn’t even blame Mincaye for taking away his father! Like honestly, how could he forgive Mincaye?!?!
Throughout this blog entry, i recognized the passion that Steve Saint had for God and His people.
and heyy..make your next entry shorter k? thank you 😛
This really was a lengthy post, but the pictures definitely helped!
This blog makes apparent that Steve Saint really lived a life that was constantly being tested by the ongoing trails and suffering, but through the way he preserved them it is very clear that he is a man with true saving faith.
In a response to the trials he faced, it must of been more that difficult to endure the death of his father and daughter. It’s especially hard to accept that his father was killed by the Waodani or “Auca”. Yet he responded by not hating or blaming God for his father’s death. And despite the fact that the Waodani killed his father, Steve did more than forgive them, he helped them and ministered to them. Steve Saint truly was a man of God who shows specific evidence of genuine saving faith!

Hey there! Nice blog girls!
I just find it so amazing how Steve Saint could become so close to the Waodani after the tribe murdered his own father. That, itself, was probably a really difficult trial for him to respond to. The fact that he didn’t judge the tribe for murdering his father just amazes me because it’s hard to imagine that a person with such impartiality could exist in the world. He had God’s help to bring him through the trials, and he responded by showing love to his father’s muderers. I admire him a lot.
Wow, Steve Saint sure acts like a “saint”.
I find it incredible that he befriended, and even accepted Mincaye, the man who killed his father, into his family – I’d be terrified that he’d kill me too! That is the most vivid example of “loving one’s enemy” I’ve ever seen and shows how much Steve must love God.
Oh, and the flying car is cool!
Wow, is all i can say to the life of this amazing follower of Christ.
Steve seemed to face setback after setback, from the death of his father to the death of his daughter and so on. But even though Steve’s life was so miserable he was still able to see the light in his eternal life that would have in heaven with Christ. He used the love that he recieved from Christ and showed it to the people that killed his father, and that take a certain kind of man!
The amount of perseverance and love demonstrated through his life is one that only could have been achieved through Christ. Steve is one of the very few people in the world that choose to live a life that was singularly directed towards the path less travelled on that he could most defeintely be called a true Christian.
