The link above (Has been removed by staff according to rule 7.1...
If anyone would like to read his story, the staff suggests to google his name and proceed with caution against anyone's asking for donations or personal information) leads to John Chaus story about he as a Christian missionary was killed by a remote and isolated group called The sentilese people.
He was only 26 and it's sad that he lost his life....but as I was reading there was a conservative Christian commenter saying something along the lines(I'm paraphrasing) that it basically wasn't worth it. However Chau thought it was.
I have 2 issues. I dont completely agree with the conservative Christian... As Christian's we should be willing to give our lives for God as he did for us and it's our job to reach and spread the gospel to everyone.... So I don't agree with him on that..
However, I wonder when exactly did Chau did... If it was directly on contact.... Then I just wonder how effect was his evangelism if he couldn't much in edge wise you know?
1) Do you think Chau should have took a different approach?
2) Do agree or disagree with the conservative Christian and why?
3) How do you think missionaries should go about evangelizing when it comes to hostile isolated groups of people-- any tips?
#Also maybe it's just me but I think it's interesting his name is John. When I read him saying my name is John.. I just thought of John the Baptist. It's interesting how he was also used to proclaim God's message to blind people as well. I hope I'm not the only one that made that correlation...
