Bruchko [the astonishing true story of a nineteen-year-old American, his capture by the Molitone Indians, and his adventures in Christianizing the Stone age tribe]

What happens when a nineteen-year-old boy leaves home and heads into the jungles to evangelize a murderous tribe of South American Indians? For Bruce Olson, it meant capture, disease, terror, loneliness, and torture. But what he discovered through trial and error has revolutionized the world of missions. Having lived with the Motilone Indians since 1961, Olson has won the friendship of four presidents of Colombia and made appearances before the United Nations because of his efforts. Bruchko includes the story of Olson's 1988 kidnapping by communist guerrillas and the nine months of captivity that followed. This revised edition of his story is an amazing reminder that simple faith in Christ can make anything possible.
