Lost in the Jungle, Found by God

What happens when God calls you into the depths of the jungle—where people have never seen a missionary, where spirits are feared more than loved, and where faith is an unspoken mystery? Pastor John Kent knows firsthand.

In this incredible episode, we follow his journey to the semi-nomadic Ipamoo people, a tribe so deep in the jungle that they had to be found. Facing suspicion, starvation, and a diet of steamed bugs (yes, really!), Pastor John had one mission: to introduce a God of love to a people living in fear. But how do you reach those who can’t read, write, or even comprehend a God who gives rather than demands?

Through a hand-cranked cassette player, divine encounters, and the unwavering power of prayer, we witness lives transformed—like Sabian, a man afraid to embrace faith for fear of angering his ancestors, until a miracle changed everything. From protecting gardens against wild pigs to healing the sick, God's power turned ordinary men into missionaries of their own people.

🔥 This episode is a powerful reminder that God meets us right where we are—even in the middle of the jungle.
