The existence of "uncontacted peoples," such as the community in Brazil that was recently covered in news reports just blows my mind. How could a group of people avoid connection with the outside world for centuries? What is entailed in taking the gospel to such isolated communities? What does the gospel look like once it arrives and takes root? I hope to find answers to some of these questions next week when I visit some friends in Latin America who are strategizing how to reach uncontacted tribes in isolated jungle regions. I'll be taking a jungle plane to get there and will bring a camera, a video camera and podcast equipment to record their stories--and perhaps mobilize others to join them.
