The God Smuggler

"But God is never defeated. Though He may be opposed, attacked, resisted, still the ultimate outcome can never be in doubt. Everyday we see fresh proof that indeed all things, even evil ones -- work together for those who are called by His name." Brother Andrew

I just finished reading this book about Brother Andrew who has spent his life on the mission field bringing the gospel of Jesus Christ behind the iron curtain and then on into unreached areas of the world. I have been inspired by His sacrifice and the simplicity of his life. He listened for the voice of God and obeyed. He did not ask for lot's of money or try to figure out what God was doing, he simple obeyed.

At the end of the book Brother Andrew leaves us with this challenging thought: "For the overseas work, Andrew noted, many people today are enrolling as short term missionaries, people assigned brief stays in Indonesia or North Africa or other places with large Muslim populations. Brother Andrew says "First earn the right to get their attention; then show them Jesus-- perhaps not with words but always with actions."

"It's high Christian adventure if your heart is in the right place," he added "Because wherever you are, Jesus will be too."

It's never too late to be a missionary. Service as missionaries takes place with our neighbors, those on the streets and in the villages we live in. Kristina
