Nate Saint’s Dream for a Clinic in Shell

As a pilot, Nate often saw people in the jungle who needed medical help. As a nurse, his wife, Marj, was frequently called upon to give treatment.

Nate shared his vision for a clinic or hospital in Shell with Dr. Ev Fuller in early 1950. Dr. Fuller immediately realized that this was what God wanted him to do. Before long he and Nate had built a small clinic and Jim Elliot did the electrical wiring.
