Christian Site: Missionary Killed By Tribe Is Gospel Hero

The Christian Post reports:

For those who believe the Bible is true, John Chau is a hero. John took Jesus seriously when He said, “Go into ALL THE WORLD and make disciples.” John also took Jesus seriously when He said, “whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.”

Five years ago this week, 26-year-old John Chau went ashore on North Sentinel Island. If things had gone according to his plan, he’d be living today among the Sentinelese people, serving them with his medical skills and mastering their language — a tongue unknown to anyone not living on the island.

Instead of being welcomed, John was killed by the islanders. Instead of being anonymous, his name was mocked and ridiculed in news reports, comedy routines and awful memes.

Read the full article. Besides the anniversary of his death, Chau is back in news due to a National Geographic special about him. The trailer is below. As most of you surely recall, visiting North Sentinel Island is strictly forbidden under Indian law, in part due to the danger to wiping them out with diseases for which they have no immunity.
