This young man seemed to me to be obsessed about being the saviour of a people who wished to remain in their way of life without the interruption from the outside world. He deliberately broke the law by going to the island he knew he wasn't allowed there but his ego and his belief that he could break through the language barrier because he had God on his side. The people on Sentinel didn't want him there, his arrogance and self-entitlement took him there, not his god, regardless of all his consultation and research, he tried to invade a people who didn't want him there and he paid the price. Many people, apart from his family and church, will remember him as that fool who thought he could Christianise a tribe who have their own life and choose to live it their way.

John Chau convinced himself that God had personally called him to "save" the Sentinelese. Sadly, the voice he told himself was God was actually just the voice of his own ego.

What places did you missionaries convert, that did not get colonized?

The arrogance these folks… Even Xenu would have puked.

He went illegally on the island, bribed fishermen which is illegal. That alone does not glorify God's Name at all. He set under false teachings & clearly did not understand the Sovereignty of God, thinking that without him God would never reach those people. And how in the world was he gonna proclaim Jesus to them if he didn't speak the language?! Now these people even more unreachable. Guy died for absolutely nothing but his pride thinking he's gonna be the one to reach those people, become famous. Whoever is teaching that Jesus has not returned yet because not every single tribe has been reached is teaching false stuff & John believed that false stuff. Clearly, studying the Bible was not his priority. Actually, finishing ORU says it all, flse teachings & nothing more. He didn't glorify God's Name nor did he make any progress in reaching those people. I'd even question his salvation considering him going so far as to illegally go to that Island & bribing people who ended up in prison because of him after that trip.

Which society that yall brought Christianity (beat Christianity into them and destroyed their original culture). But which one hasn’t actually been colonized.

In response to Dr. Ho's comment that Christianity is a "global faith," yes, that is true. However, Christianity didn't arrive in Taiwan until the 16th century C.E. So the Christianity that came to Taiwan had already been filtered through a Western cultural lens for the preceding 1,500 years.

23:37 I'm actually offended at the blatant disrespect for the Ancient Greek sky father god Zeus in this video. 🤷🏾‍♂️

He was told not go and why. I have no sympathy, his savior complex got him kill3d. Leave people tf alone, especially uncontacted tribes that don’t want outsiders.

Thank you for this conversation. Much needed.

Thanks for this interview.

The guy had it coming. He knew what would happen and he did it anyway. If god was real, he’d probably look at John and be like “I don’t know this idiot. I don’t claim him.”

I am a Christian living in London UK. Even though the documentary has some mistakes in it i really like it. I really happy with the churches/evanlegical world obsession with the great commission is being challenged. Most churches in the UK teaches you how to he a 'good Christian 'and being an evangelist. But hardly any preaching on our own repentance or walk with Christ. Time for this mindset to be challenge.

@bobstrauss9413 3 hours ago John Chau was not a martyr but an obsessed fanatic who valued his obsession more than life. His life was wasted on that island and he knew it would be that way. Perhaps he had a death wish. Those people just want to be left alone. John's life could have been better spent ministering to people in prisons or inner cities. He could have taken at risk kids on nature hikes. But no , he deliberately chose death over life. His death was more like a suicide.

I wonder if women missionaries went to the Island if they would be accepted? Like with the End of the Spear. Women are not seen as a threat.

Gotta go to North Pole… to find elves…

Missionary mistakes. Bad actors😂😂😂

Thank God for videos like this in so many ways. Again and again, there are many myths and misconceptions about many things including the history of Christianity, especially the history of Christian missionary work.

Jesus Christ couldn't save himself he couldn't save John Chou... These missionaries preach Jesus is the saviour. LOL 😂😂😂

Thank you for this podcast, there was so many misinformation about His story. May the Love of Jesus overwhelm all the people that are speaking bad about Him and about missions, may their eyes be open to see that everything they are longing for it's just found in Jesus ❤

We dont need to see the results...its Gods timing...and its God will...like in the case of the Aucas....just because you dont see anything happening doesn't mean God isn't at work...ultimately it is not about the world to see what happened its about the people coming to know Christ eventually

I just watched this movie and was drawn to finding out more about John, and i found this video. I am so glad you guys touched on these themes throughout the movie documentary because I feel as though there really has been a huge attack on Christians and our faith, and National Geographic/Disney is leading it on in disapproval.

I watched the documentary. I am a Puerto Rican Christian. This documentary was so one sided and clearly had Its own agenda to degrade Christian’s and missionary’s. It made no sense to me how this one x Christian and missionary ran the whole documentary. When you can clearly tell this man was burnt out by ministry. I think it’s funny how the “western world” continues to push that Christianity is a “western religion” and then leave out all of the orthodox Christians that aren’t white or from the west. All of the Christian’s around the world who are Christian. Multiple indigenous people who are Christian and don’t regret It. Of course they leave that out. Now do I feel there could have been a little more wisdom for that young man to go to the north sentinelese people. I feel like he could of gotten a little more creative with his approach. I hope and I pray he really was sent by the lord and he didn’t do this in his flesh. We will find out soon enough what the fruits of this situation will be. I know one fruit is I began to pray for the north sentinelese I pray other Christians will do the same.
