So we have a speaker here at Holmsted named Al Akimoff and this man has stories about missions that are truly amazing. However my favorite stories were the ones that involved a man called Brother Andrew. If you have read God Smuggler then you know who Im talking about if you havent I really suggest that you should.
Brother Andrew is a missionary that went into communist countries carrying the Gospel with him. There are many different amazing stories in the book God Smuggler about how God provided in amazing ways.
So I read the book God Smuggler long before i had even heard of YWAM. It is an amazing story one that I would recommend to anyone.
So when I heard that Al Akimoff new him and worked with him for many years I was Highly impressed.
However the most amazing part of this story is what Brother Andrew is doing now. Apparently Brother Andrew is ministering in the middle east to the taliban, hamas and al qaeda groups. He flys around the middle east and these different groups send their black mercedes to pick him up. These dangerous terrorist groups roll out the red carpet for this 80 year old man who comes to tell them about Jesus. That is truly amazing.
That is awesome Alex, I loved the God Smuggler too, I knew he was over there but did not know that they welcomed him so incredibly.
ReplyDeleteGreat book! ridiculous story. I had no idea he was over there now. How did he get started over there?
ReplyDeleteyeah wow! i didn't know either that he was still ministering (or even still alive!)
