Missionary pilot Jim Streit has opened up about sharing the Gospel with a man who put a loaded gun to his face while trying to hijack his plane in December during a flight carrying Samaritan’s Purse medical aid to a remote medical unit in South Sudan.
Streit discussed the confrontation during the Christian ministry’s “On the Ground with Samaritan’s Purse” podcast, where he said that what began as a routine humanitarian flight turned into a life-threatening encounter after a stowaway emerged from the rear of the aircraft during the journey.
