Bruchko



Summer Reading: Bruchko

The astonishing story of a 19-year-old American - his capture by the Motilone Indians and his adventures in Christianizing the Stone Age tribe.

Have Y'all been reading? I highly recommend it. Bruce Olson tells his story of how he ended up with the Motilone tribe in a moving way. His story reveals how God moved in his life and worked to reshape how he reached out to people. I found myself really captivated by this book.

Here is a start to some thoughts on the readings, please share any quotes that stuck out to you or anything else that got you thinking about how we do ministry.

Provoking Quote:

"Take me out of the way and speak to them in their own language so they see You for who you are...

O Jesus become a Motilone."

Questions:

How do we get in the way?

How have you seen Christ show up in a different way than you knew before?
