Zbog križa ću te ubiti

I Will Kill You for the Sake of the Cross is an exciting and inspiring autobiographical account by American missionary Bruce Olson. The story follows a nineteen-year-old young man who, lacking money, organizational support, or knowledge of the local language, leaves the comfort of his home to venture into the rainforests of Colombia and Venezuela—driven by a powerful calling to proclaim the Gospel to the isolated and bellicose Motilone (Barí) tribe. Olson faces unimaginable dangers, including tropical diseases, arrow wounds, captivity, and the constant threat of death. Rather than imposing Western culture and traditions, the author discovers a unique and respectful approach: he allows the message of Christ to permeate the tribe through their own language, songs, and customs. His long years of sacrificial service have brought about not only spiritual transformation and peace among warring tribes but also practical aid in the form of healthcare, literacy, and the protection of indigenous rights. This book stands as a powerful testament to God’s strength, selfless love, forgiveness, and an unwavering faith capable of overcoming even the most daunting obstacles in life.
