During his childhood, Andy would go to church with his parents. When the church service started, he would slip out the doors. During the winter, Andy would go ice skating during church. Once he got back to church at the end of the service, he would listen to the chatter listening for clues of what the pastor said during the sermon.
Andy got to the 6 th grade and had to stop attending school, because the Nazis took over the schools and converted them into bunkers for the soldiers. One day, Andy decided to do something mischievous. He decided to get some fireworks in order to scare the German soldiers. He did not have any money, so he paid for the fireworks with tomatoes. He set the fireworks off at curfew at different parts of the village in order to divert the attention of the Nazis, so he could plan his escape.
Andy got back to his home safely. After this, Andy joined a group of teens who sought to help with the fight against the Nazis by stealing guns, radio, etc. Each day, they had to flee into a nearby forest in order to hide from the German soldiers. Finally, the war ended with the Nazis being defeated by the Allies in It was time for him to pick a profession. He did not want to be an Ironsmith like his father. One day while he was running, Andy decided to become a soldier.
When he was 18 years old, he joined the Dutch Resistance Army. After training, Andy went to war in Indonesia in order to fight against the communist who were fighting to take over the Dutch-controlled areas of Indonesia. Andy was horrified by all the bloodshed. One day, he killed a baby and mother.
During his training, Andy met families at the church he attended. One girl he met was Thile. Andy started to correspond with her during the war. He was called to bring Bibles to the communists and even further beyond, though he did not know where yet. Andrew would bring Christ to where Christianity was persecuted against; a most dangerous mission. Before going out to new nations, he went home to Holland.
He witnessed to the free church concerning the persecuted church, gaining support for the mission of aiding persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ all around the world. From his very first trip to Poland, Andrew started passing out Bibles to the Polish people.
He visited a church in the area, and he learned how to encourage the local Christians. He spent three weeks with the first Baptist church that he visited. Andrew felt that the Lord confirmed his calling because the church was greatly encouraged. This was his first mission trip over the Iron Curtain border.
He was banished from the country once the communists found out what he had been doing. Brother Andrew was a true rebel for the Kingdom of God. From Poland, he was called to go from country to country, all under the control of communism. He went to nations lacking Bibles in his Volkswagen Beetle.
This Beetle was a vehicle God provided for his mission of transporting Bibles across borders. The single missionary would put his life on the line, to bring the Gospel to those who had no exposure to Jesus. During his journies, Brother Andrew would encounter persecution himself. He is famous for the saying,. When you were on earth, You made blind eyes see. Now, I pray, make seeing eyes blind.
Do not let the guards see those things You do not want them to see. They had been friends for many years, and after praying to God for a wife for a long time, Brother Andrew found that the Lord had brought them together. Corrie was such a support to the ministry that Brother Andrew had started.
She also raised their five children while Brother Andrew continued to go on solo mission trips. The missionary was in real danger for his life each and every time that he brought a Bible across borders. The solo missionary did not stay solo forever. Hans proved to be an important partner because the radical pair continued to grow into a radical group after Hans joined.
Brother Andrew saw the fruit of working with a team, and many people started to aid in the mission. The team became even bolder to go to Asia. Here, they carried on a ministry of preaching the Gospel and passing out Bibles. After the s, the group would go into Middle Eastern and Islamic nations. The mission was to encourage the persecuted Church all around the world. They depend on us. When Jesus Prayed Insights to Improve Your Prayer Life 4 copies. A Journey in the Company of God 4 copies.
