Indie Rocker looks to fly Gospel into Ecuador

Evan Smith, a junior at The Baptist College of Florida in Graceville, has plans to soar above and beyond his current job pouring concrete in Colquitt, Ga. He says God may lead him to perform music in arenas, or He may lead him to people along an Ecuadorian river.
Smith, 21, hopes he can do both. Just 18 solo hours away from a pilot’s license, he looks expectantly towards the sky as both his music and mission aspirations are tied to flying.
As a six-year volunteer with Southern Baptist missionaries to Ecuador, Steve and Carol Thompson, Smith said he believes God has called him to connect to people in 200 unreached communities along the Napa River that are best reached by air.
Smith is even looking into an experimental airplane powered by the same gasoline used by cars. The plane, he said, which can land on water, would be “perfect” for Ecuador.
“This is in the Lord’s hands, of course,” Smith told Florida Baptist Witness. “The big question now is ‘Where does my music fit into all of this?’”
