How do missionaries reach totally uncivilized tribes in South America?
Missionaries reach totally uncivilized tribes in South America by starting where the people are—still living in the jungle with bow and arrow and only a loincloth—and by befriending them. Through that relationship, they eventually bring them out to a place where communication becomes possible.
Les explains, in the context of the Ten Commandments and the social fabric, that missionary friends have ministered to uncivilized tribes in areas of South America. He recalls that years ago five missionaries were killed by the Alka Indians, and friends now work in that same area. They start with totally uncivilized people still running in the jungle with bow and arrow and nothing but a loincloth. They befriend them, and finally bring them out where they can communicate with them. This follows his point that a society cannot hold together when the last five are absolutely ignored.
