Living Waters wants to highlight the work of Open Doors
In 1955 a young Dutch missionary discovered that Christians behind the Iron Curtain desperately needed the Word of God. Brother Andrew (as he would later be known) distributed a suitcase full of Christian literature behind the Iron Curtain, marking the humble beginnings of Open Doors with Brother Andrew.
God's Smuggler
In the late 1960s Brother Andrew became known as 'God's Smuggler' after the title of his best-selling biography. This book had a tremendous impact on many Christians in the West who, for the first time, read about the pain and deprivation of their brothers and sisters living in restricted countries. Now available in 27 languages, God's Smuggler has helped to redefine the boundaries of modern missionary endeavour and has aroused millions to an awareness of the suffering Church in areas of limited access.
Global ministry
Brother Andrew's one-man operation quickly grew into a worldwide ministry. The work of Open Doors broadened to taking Bibles into China, Vietnam and later Africa and the Muslim World, and organising training seminars and practical aid for suffering Christians.
Under Brother Andrew's leadership Open Doors has gone where most western Christians dare not go.
