Synopsis

What happens when a nineteen-year-old boy leaves home and heads into the jungles to evangelize a murderous tribe of South American Indians? For Bruce Olson, it meant capture, disease, terror, loneliness, and torture. But what he discovered through trial and error has revolutionized the world of missions. Bruchko, which has sold more than 300,000 copies worldwide, has been called more fantastic and harrowing than anything Hollywood could concoct. Having lived with the Motilone Indians since 1961, Olson has won the friendship of four presidents of Colombia and made appearances before the United Nations because of his efforts. Bruchko includes the story of Olsons 1988 kidnapping by communist guerrillas and the nine months of captivity that followed. This revised version of his story is an amazing reminder that simple faith in Christ can make anything possible.

This is the sequel to the first bruchko book. If you combine the two memoirs, it makes for one of the most insane missionary stories I’ve read about. I only give this one a 4 star because I wasn’t a fan of how this second book was structured and that the first 3 chapters was just book 1 summarized.......more

Goodreads review by Micah Smiley on January 18, 2016

"Why God? Why is it so hard?" "It's for this cross." Bruchko is a story of a man who truly understands that the gospel belongs to nobody but Jesus. And for that reason, it's not meant to be shared just one way. This book is a great story of God moving through a man with nothing but a desire to fulfi......more

Goodreads review by Eliana on January 11, 2025

Incredible, inspiring story of God’s work through Bruce Olson. I love the way he shares the gospel with the Motilone people for the first time, drawing from the tribe’s own folklore. The people have this story of a Motilone man who wanted to help an ant colony build their home. The ants were afraid......more

I love reading about the things God does. When we obey Him, great things happen. This is the continuing report of what is happening in Columbia with the Motilones. Bruce continues to obey and sees amazing results! I especially was encouraged by how, even when he was captured by guerilla forces, he s......more
