A little over a week ago, a 26-year-missionary was killed by members of an isolated tribe on a remote island near India, Myanmar, and Thailand. As CT reported: According to news reports based on Chau\u2019s journal entries, the Oral Roberts University graduate shouted, \u201cMy name is John, and I love you and Jesus loves you,\u201d to Sentinelese tribesmen armed with bows and arrows. He fled to a fishing boat when they shot at him during his initial visit, with one arrow piercing his Bible. The young missionary did not survive a follow-up trip on November 17. Chau was working with All Nations, whose stated mission is \u201cto make disciples and train leaders to ignite church planting movements among the neglected peoples of the earth.\u201d Mary Ho, the international executive leader at All Nations, described Chau as a \u201cvery interesting young man\u201d and \u201cvery focused.\u201d \u201cSince he was about 18 years old, I believe, he took a mission trip and on that mission trip he really felt a call to be a missionary,\u201d Ho said. \u201cAround that time he started researching all the different people groups and he came across the North Sentinelese people.\u201d Chau really felt that \u201chis life\u2019s call was to take the love and goodness of Jesus Christ to the North Sentinelese,\u201d said Ho. \u201cSince then, every decision he has made has been to prepare himself for his life\u2019s call.\u201d Today on Quick to Listen, we want to learn more about John Chau, the Sentinelese, and other \u201cneglected peoples\u201d\u2014and especially the challenges and perils of bringing the gospel to isolated people groups.\nLearn more about your ad choices.
