BBC / International Christian Concern
The
family of the American missionary,
John Allen Chau, who was reportedly killed
in mid-November by unidentified individuals from the Sentinelese community on
North Sentinel Island, located in India’s
Andaman and Nicobar Islands, have said
they forgive his attackers.
According
to
local
sources, Chau had
travelled to North Sentinel Island with the
help of
local fishermen
in an attempt to
interact with members of the Sentinelese
tribe. Chau reportedly hired a fishing dinghy
from the Chidiyatapu area and travelled to
North Sentinel Island. Chau had reportedly
visited the Andaman and Nicobar Islands
on five previous occasions and had expressed
a strong desire to meet with the Sentinelese
tribes to preach Christianity.
