Built by Fire - Chapter 16: Into the Green (Audiobook)
"Into the Green: The Rama Mission" takes you deep into the jungles of Nicaragua, where muddy rivers are roads and the thick canopy becomes both teacher and test. Following a call from fellow warriors Maddog, KUDA, and the legendary Shiva, David Burnell joins a mission to prepare for training doctors and nurses who will one day serve in the world’s hardest places.
This chapter is about learning to survive before you can teach others to save lives. It is about building trust with the Rama people, moving quietly through rivers under watchful eyes, and learning the jungle’s harsh, humbling lessons in preparation for a mission yet to come.
Here, faith is quiet, courage is forged in rain and mud, and preparation becomes an act of service. This mission wasn’t about going to help; it was about becoming ready to help when the world breaks. Because when the call comes, you don’t just go—you go ready.
