Missionary Steve Saint Builds a Flying Car

This is an interesting story; if you saw the movie End of the Spear, it is a compelling story.  Steve Saint is the son of Nate Saint, one of the missionaries martyred in 1956 trying to establish contact with the Waodani (Auca) tribe in the Amazon jungle.  If you want the whole story, go rent End of the Spear, and get a box of tissues while you are out.

Here are the details, and here is a video of the car/plane in action (you have to sit through a short ad first).

The FAA has certified the device, the first time a flying car has been so recognized.  Wow!

Wednesday Wisdom- 'Missional'...what does it mean?

I've heard the term missional thrown around for a number of years now, and most of the time I hear it, context is the only way to try to figure out what the author means by it.  I've interacted on other blogs with authors, asking for definitions of words at times, and often missional is one of the words I want defined.  I'm usually ignored.

A few days ago, I ran across this blog post by Ryan Kelly over on the Gospel Coalition web site.  It is by far the most helpful article I've read on missional and missionalarity (that's a new word I just made up...much like others use words in new ways).

I hope you find this as helpful as I did.  Use the hyperlinks...there's a lot more additional info buried in those.
