Never did I assert to take on a task for God, without the direction of God. But God has already spoke on this issue, and this young man would hardly be the first missionary to lose his life. History is full of examples of believers that died trying to reach sinners, and others that could have saved their lives by mere recanting of the Gospel, and refused to do so. Nice try.

Risk their lives? Like eternally? Die without Jesus and you are done forever. Hell is too hot and eternity is too long.

God called me to a different people group. Nice try, but you don't seem to understand God.

"For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent."

1 Corinthians 1:18-19

I totally understand why this is foolishness to you, and I am concerned for your eternal soul.

But previously, you said:

And even if God didn't call him for this people, no where in the Bible will you find man needing to ask for permission to reach a people for Christ. He was obeying the very first commandment to Adam that never changed: subdue the earth.

So why aren’t you subduing these islanders? You don’t need God’s direction in these matters, you have standing orders.
