Lost in the Amazon: The Adventures of a Missionary Kid

By: Breithaupt, David

What started as just an ordinary day for Pete Wilson turned into an adventure of a lifetime as he tried to survive a plane crash in the Amazon jungle. He had to find his way back home, but after losing his compass, he knew he was in big trouble. For the next twelve months, he had to live by his wits to survive. At eighteen years of age, he faced many difficult challenges and disappointments. The jungle was full of animals whose main diet is meat, and he had several close calls. There were also a lot of dangers in the jungle from nature such as quicksand, forest fires, flooding, and major storms. The Amazon basin is a huge area with wide fast-moving rivers to cross, steep cliffs to climb, and headhunters. It seemed that there was some kind of life-threatening difficulty to overcome every day.

He used his wits to find food when it was scarce, to make weapons, and to find a way home. But more than his own ingenuity, he relied on his God and Savior, Jesus Christ; and this story is a testament to the mercy and power of God to help us when we call upon him.
