About this deal

One time I passed on a request for butter by saying, ‘Thus sayeth the neighbour of Andrew, that thou wouldst be pleased to pass the butter. The messages about the persecuted church and the need of fellowship and letting them know they're not forgotten were so spot on! It is unlikely that I would have chosen this book for myself, but I am so thankful that my counselor recommended it for me to read. A note on content--Andrew's early life stands as an amazing testimony to God's redeeming power, but the account doesn't shy away from the seriousness of sin (though it never gets overly detailed).

I had apparently started reading it back in 2008, judging from a bookmark left in it, but for some reason, never got more than a few pages into it. Brother Andrew now considers this book to be a curse because it has caused many people to elevate him to superstar status. Persecuted for their faith they wondered whether they had been forgotten by their fellow Christians around the world. This sixtieth anniversary edition of God’s Smuggler now includes photographs from Brother Andrew’s travels and an exclusive interview with him about his further adventures, as his ministry took him to the Middle East, Africa, China, Israel, Pakistan and other places of great danger and extraordinary opportunities. Andrew "Anne" van der Bijl ( Dutch: [ˈɑnə vɑn dər ˈbɛil]; 11 May 1928 – 27 September 2022), known in English-speaking countries as Brother Andrew, was a Dutch Christian missionary and founder of the Christian organization Open Doors.

Brother Andrew said this about the people he met behind the Iron Curtain who could have escaped Communism, but chose to stay in their communities because they placed their service for God over their lives of danger for holding prayer and church services.

Born in a small village in Sint Pancras, the Netherlands, from an early age he was like many children, dreaming about grand adventures.Van der Bijl died at age 94 on 27 September 2022; [7] [14] he had been married for 59 years to his wife, Corry (1931–2018). Brother Andrew was born in Sint Pancras, the Netherlands, and was the fourth of seven children to a poor, near deaf blacksmith. Now I’m not saying that we shouldn’t minister to anyone in need, and we should certainly give everyone we can the Bible.
