John Allen Chau, the American Christian missionary
John Allen Chau, the American Christian missionary wrote a letter to his family asking them not to be 'angry at tribes or at God' if he was killed, a few days before he was killed.
John was killed with arrows by members of a protected and reclusive tribe in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands when he tried to enter the North Sentinel Island.
In one of the letters obtained by DailyMail.com Chau wrote to his parents “You guys might think I'm crazy in all this but I think it's worth it to declare Jesus to these people.”
Adding further, he wrote “Rather please live your lives in obedience to whatever he has called you to and I'll see you again when you pass through the veil. This is not a pointless thing - the eternal lives of this tribe is at hand and I can't wait to see them around the throne of God worshiping in their own language as Revelations 7:9-10 states.”
“I love you all and I pray none of you love anything in this world more than Jesus Christ.”
Meanwhile, the Chau family has, in a note posted on the deceased’s Instagram account, said that they “forgive” those who are reportedly responsible for the mountaineer’s death.
The family has also urged the release of seven people arrested for breaching the provisions of the Protection of Aboriginal Tribe (Regulation), 1956 and causing the death of Chau.
In a press release issued late Wednesday evening, Dependra Pathak, DGP, Andaman and Nicobar Police, said Chau had enlisted the help of a water sports service provider and local electronics engineer Alexander, and also hired five fishermen to dodge the patrolling teams of police, Coast Guard and Navy while moving to the island.
Notably, the Sentinelese people are among the tribes that managed to survive the tsunami of 2004 without any sort of help from the outside world. As per experts, their population could be anything between 40 and 400.
