A friend of mine was once married to the chief pilot for some medical missionary outfit in Papua-New Guinea. You doubtless know that PNG is famous for extreme weather, stuffed cloud, and very marginal airstrips. One day, in weather bad by PNG standards, there was a call for an emergency evacuation from one of those marginal strips, halfway up a mountain. Evidently a job for the chief pilot, and he died trying to do it.
I'm no fan of evangelical Christianity, but missionaries often do very practical, useful work.
