Many years ago I was talking to a medical missionary working in the jungles of Peru. She said her missions agency had recently made contact with a remote tribe of people who had never heard the gospel. Through the patient persistence of some faithful missionaries the chief of the village sat down and received the Good News. He listened carefully, thought for a while and then stood up and walked away. The missionaries interpreted this as rejection. So they were very surprised when the chief made contact with them and asked to speak to them again. At their next meeting the chief said very simply, “I have spoken with my people and we want Jesus to be our owner.”
