Bruchko

1. Bruchko illustrates remarkable sacrifice and obedience to God. Olson’s passion for the Motoline people to come to know Christ is genuine and accurately portrays discipleship. This book evokes a sense of realness and urgency in sharing the gospel with others, as well as refocusing a person’s attention away from oneself and to people who are in genuine need of a Savior. It is obvious that the Lord has used Olson as a tool in meeting the needs, both spiritual and physical, of the Motilines.
2. Olson’s faith is astounding. He didn’t want to be a missionary, but God told him and showed him otherwise. His life reminds me how God uses his weakest people to do his mightiest works.
3. Bruce Olson, only one year into college, then decides to go to South America! With a very long stay, and adventure after scary adventure but he still becomes a man. He becomes a broken, humble man. He surrenders his life and even his own fate over to God and offers the rest of his life in service, transforming a backwards, stone-age tribe into a powerful force, changing even the government that rules them. This shows an excellent example of the concept of the local church and how Christianity can transform culture into the most culturally, morally, and spiritually primitive.
1. After seeing what he does with out a wife almost makes me not even want to get married and just have his passion, going through all he has and doing everything I just need to maintain a great passion to serve Christ like him.
2. Showing me even though sometimes what I think and what I do is not always God best but its something that I have set in my mind, and head and become cold to the leading of the Lord. He I see what in order to have a successful ministry that I need to first give up all and everything on my own to God and let him leading with opening and closings here and there and show what is best for me in life so that I don’t make fleshly and human mistakes that the world does everyday.
3. I see here that decisions have a huge part to play even more then we know. And that our decisions that we might make for a time or for awhile might become more into Gods eternal plan and last longer then I’d ever guess. So I need to remember in ministry and most of all in family that decision that I make thinking might get by God or even when I make them for God can become changed by his will, and power to something I never saw coming or could have imaged.
