God's Smuggler
Book Description
When childhood dreams of espionage take an unexpected spiritual turn, extraordinary adventures unfold. This remarkable memoir follows a young Dutch factory worker whose calling leads him into some of the world's most dangerous territories, armed with nothing but faith and forbidden religious texts.
Brother Andrew's mission takes him behind the Iron Curtain during an era when such journeys seemed impossible. His approach combines practical courage with profound spiritual trust, offering a simple yet powerful prayer at each border crossing: asking God to blind the eyes of guards to the contraband Scriptures hidden in his luggage. Time and again, this audacious faith proves effective.
The narrative spans thirty-five years of clandestine ministry, revealing how divine guidance manifests in everyday decisions and miraculous provision appears in moments of greatest need. Each border crossing, each dangerous encounter, becomes a testament to the possibility of following an inner calling despite overwhelming obstacles.
Rather than ending with past victories, the story extends into contemporary challenges. Andrew's work evolves to address the closed societies of the Islamic world, demonstrating how spiritual missions adapt to changing global circumstances.
This account speaks to anyone wrestling with questions of purpose, faith in action, and the courage required to pursue a calling that others deem impossible. It offers a compelling example of how ordinary individuals can participate in extraordinary spiritual adventures when guided by unwavering conviction.
