Open Doors with Brother Andrew

In 1955, "Brother Andrew", a young Dutchman, began to smuggle Bibles behind Europe's Iron Curtain in a small car. Thus was founded Open Doors with Brother Andrew, which has since been blessed into a global network of Bible delivery and persecuted Christian advocacy organizations.

Opens Doors with Brother Andrew maintains offices in 18 countries: Australia, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, South Korea, Holland, New Zealand, Norway, Philippines, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom and the United States.

Of course, Open Doors with Brother Andrew operates in many more countries. In 2006, Open Doors delivered 6.9 million Bibles and literature around the world, with the Bible cost averaging $5.

Open Doors with Brother Andrew - Strength

Open Doors with Brother Andrew has led the shift in the thrust of Bible 'placement' efforts away from China, where the situation is relatively improving, toward the Muslim nations of the Middle East, where they are needed relatively more. The shift has been led personally by Brother Andrew, who retired from official leadership of Open Doors, but at 80, still remains its spearheading leader.

Open Doors with Brother Andrew - Weakness

The official leadership of Open Doors now rests with a younger generation that appears to be relying increasingly on the wisdom of the world, including secular marketing and fundraising techniques, than on faith in the Lord, whom the incessant and aggressive begging for money at every opportunity fails to glorify.
