International Adventures: Bruchko

What happens when a nineteen-year-old leaves home and goes into the jungle to evangelize a tribe of South American natives? For Bruce Olson, it meant captivity, illness, terror, loneliness, and torture. But what he discovered through trials has revolutionized the world of missions. Olson's efforts—he has lived with the Motilones since 1961—have earned him the friendship of four presidents of Colombia and several invitations to the United Nations.

 

This updated edition of Bruchko includes the story of his capture by communist guerrillas and the months of captivity he had to endure. Bruce Olson's experience will amaze you and remind you that simple faith in Christ makes all things possible.

 

"...a missions classic. Bruce Olson is a contemporary missionary hero who today sets an example for us in reaching unevangelized tribes" Loren Cunningham, President of Youth With A Mission
