I just received this reflection:
“Interesting again: GOD’s ways. Reading Bruchko… GOD sent him to the Motilones. They consist of merely 5400 people. He first went to the Yukos, but didn’t initially even share the gospel with them. Though the Motilones reached many tribes around them, it is very interesting that GOD sent B specifically to JUST ONE tribe and specifically the Motilones! GOD’s ways are past finding out, though sometimes we find clues as to why. Imagine trying to balance universes, arrange for proper national leaders, and answer a child’s prayer for a lost loved one.”

Wisdom in the WORD 
Excerpt from

*****
That night Bruce was placed in their jail to wait the return of the chief who was on a hunting expedition. The next day he learned these were Yuko Indians who already had been visited by missionaries.
By the time the chief and his warriors returned, Bruce had administered penicillin shots for an infection he had noted in some of the children and had won the affection of the older people in the village. As a result, he was allowed to remain in the village and learned to live like the Indians.
At the end of six months he had learned a few Yuko words and formulated a plan for reaching the Motilones. He would move from one Yuko village to another in the direction of the Motilone territory. Because of the fierceness of the Motilones, he knew that on the last leg of his journey he would have to be on his own. No Yuko would enter the Motilone territory.
It was the following of his plan that had brought him to the clearing. Now with a Motilone arrow in his thigh and surrounded by five Motilone warriors, Bruce was again about to test the power of God to deliver.
The Motilones dragged Bruce to their village. As in the case of the Yukos, the tribal chief was on a hunting trip. It was plain to Bruce, however, that the majority favored killing him immediately.
