The end of the story of the missionary killed to escape …

The US government will not file a lawsuit against the Indian tribe that allegedly killed a 26-year-old preaching missionary on November 17, 2018. John Allen Chau's body still could not recover. The episode has occurred on North Sentinel Island, in the Indian Ocean, whose inhabitants refuse any contact with the outside world.

"It was a tragic case," said Samuel Brownback, US ambbadador for religious freedom around the world. "The US government has neither called for nor applied any kind of sanctions that the Indian government would take against the tribal peoples in this case," the official said.

Chau had arrived as a missionary from the state of Washington and had gone to the island located in the Bay of Bengal, which the Indian government recommends not to visit. In fact, the Indian authorities do not envisage legislation protecting those who wish to do an internship there. The natives live in huts and are hostile. This is what the missionary knew hours before his death, pierced with arrows and buried in the sand.

"You may think I'm crazy about all this, but I think it's worth bringing Jesus to these people, it's not useless, the eternal life of this tribe is near and I'm eager to see him around The throne of God worshiping him in his own language, as Revelation 7: 9-10 says, "he wrote to his family in his last message. He used to post on Instagram and said that one day he had gone kayaking on the island. They received it with arrows. In fact, one of the arrows went through his copy of the Bible. Despite this, he returned to hostile territory and paid with his life.

Sentinels became famous when the island was hit by a tsunami in 2014. An islander shot arrows at a helicopter to badess the damage. "We decided not to disturb the sentinels," said an anthropologist at the time. The Guardian. "We should not hinder their feelings, they shoot arrows at all the invaders, it's their message, they do not want to come to the island and we respect that," he said.

The island inhabited by sentinels has an area of ​​72 square kilometers and it is estimated that there are no more than 400 people. The origin of the tribe could be Chinese and its zero contact with foreigners makes it one of the most isolated in the world. They live on fishing and hunting and have rejected the contact attempts of the Indian government.

The death of Chau has sparked controversy over the opportunity to strengthen control of access to the island. Especially still the world's leading power renounces acting against the islanders. A debate was also generated in the evangelical Christian community to which Chau belonged. For some, it is a martyr, others think that it had an imprudent and useless attitude.
