I know we are created to worship something/being and those of us in America and other countries are fortunate to hear about God somewhere along life's journey, but would that be the case for those in the deepest jungles in the third world? Do they hear about the only one true living God? Has missionaries reached everyone before death has taken them?
What happens when someone has just started their journey to live for God and before they can complete all the steps of salvation - they die?

Sister,
When Steve Saint (Author of End of the Spear) asked his Missionary Dad why he didn't carry a weapon while trying to befriend a violent tribe,
his reply was," Son if they kill us we're ready to meet Jesus, but if we kill them they're not."
When Governor Bradford (Plymouth Ma) was told that some of his men killed some Indians he said, "I wish You'd converted them first."
Something on which to chew....
