God's Smuggler — Brother Andrew

I'm glad, Brother Khan, you give me some time. My heart is burdened, and I don't always have the chance to unburden my heart. And I'm so glad to be back here in San Francisco, in the 120 fellowship. It's three years ago since I was here, and I'll never forget that meeting, and the wonderful time I had with the friends here, and Brother Harris, he's eating in the hall somewhere, and all the other friends I made.

And I'm so glad that some others have come tonight, and if God tells you anything at all, let me know. We are co-laborers, and I want to make it clear to you tonight. In the kingdom of God, it is not a one-man show.

Christian Fellowship as Shared Responsibility

You don't come to listen to a man and admire him or condemn him. You come to fellowship to share the burden, share the responsibility, and share the joy. And when I was here three years ago, I really was on my way to Red China.

And no one would believe it. Of course, they didn't say that. They said, we'll pray for you. But to me, that means the same. I want a definite word. You see, if I say I go to Red China, it means I go to Red China.

And I was waiting here in California, in the charismatic groups, for a confirmation from the Lord, a word from the Lord, a prophecy. And I got it in California, in Los Angeles. When I make a dangerous trip, I go to Siberia, Central Asia, Vietnam, or any other place, I expect the Lord to give me such clear guidance, the guarantee that I'll get in and that he'll make me a blessing.

And I really hope he tells me I get out. But if not, I'll still go. But that has to come from others, too. Everyone has to be as much open to the Holy Spirit as the speaker. If not, there is something wrong.

So that's the reason why we gather together as Christians. To let God's Spirit work in us and through us. And that's why I want you to have my card. If God speaks to you, you should let me know. In Denver, last week, I had a meeting.

And a sister came to me and she said, The Lord spoke to me that when you go to Vietnam, you should not stay in Saigon. Now, I appreciate that. Of course, I know Saigon is dangerous, but every place is dangerous.

Every place outside of the will of God is dangerous. Including your home, or your car, or your bed. By the way, most people die in their bed. Don't they, Doctor? Your bed may be the most dangerous place for you in the world.

I have traveled hundreds of thousands of miles in communist countries. I only had one accident that happened in Holland. I think Holland is the most dangerous place for me. But I have to be on the mission field.

Sometimes I have to go home because I have... Oh, I don't have that picture with me now. I have four wonderful children and my wife at home. And if you want to know their names and the birth date, it's all in the book.

And Monday night, I'll fly back to Amsterdam and stay, I hope, ten days at home. Because on the 17th of March, I have to be in Vietnam again. Where we have a very heavy schedule. And three of our young people in Holland are ready to take off for Vietnam.

And they just look forward to the moment when they can throw in their weight into the battle. The spiritual battle, that is. So pray and keep open for the Lord and let me know. Keep in touch so that as workers together, we'll be able to expand our ministry and reach the uttermost parts of the world.

A Russian Boy’s Wisdom Under Persecution

Some time ago, a boy in Russia was on his way to a secret meeting. And his father had told him to be very careful because he knew the police were watching the believers and trying to find out where they met secretly.

But the boy said he was going to be very careful. So, all right, daddy let him go. And on his way to the place where they were going to meet, he was suddenly stopped by policemen. Well, that happens often.

It happened often to me in Russia, too. Because you realize that in our ministry, we get arrested once in a while and all that comes with that. So the police stopped him and he said, What are you heading for?

Well, that was difficult because the boy loved the Lord Jesus. He knew, as a Christian, you are not supposed to tell a lie. But then, was he going to betray his brethren by telling the policemen that he was going to a secret meeting and get them into jail that same day?

He couldn't do that either. So he just shot off a quick prayer to heaven, telegram prayer, which the Lord does answer, provided you take time for prayer when you have time. And the Lord really gave him wisdom.

He looked at the policeman very sadly and he said, Sir, I'm going to meet my brothers and sisters for just today we are going to open the testament of my oldest brother. Well, he was speaking the truth, wasn't he?

We have the testament of our oldest brother. So the police took pity on him and he said, All right, sonny, on you go. So he left. This is the testament of our oldest brother, Jesus. And I want to open it and see what he has to tell us in his testament.

The Bible as Christ’s Testament and Inheritance

And I look on the Bible as a testament, as something that he has given us, some inheritance, legacy, which we can obtain if we meet the condition. And he has met them because he died, to make the testament valid.

And now we have to appropriate the property and fulfill the conditions, if there are any. And there aren't. So let's read a few verses, first of all, from Matthew 28. I'd love to tell you, I wish that this meeting took place in Eastern Europe.

You know why? They don't have watches there. And they don't have much liberty either. They can only have one meeting a week in some countries like Romania. So they begin the meeting at nine in the morning, and when I am there we stop at five in the afternoon.

One meeting only, you see. In other places we have meetings all day. Just one meeting daily. Or we meet all through the night. Or we go into the car and drive to some secret place. Or we just walk over the mountains and in the woods and have meetings.

But time is never a factor in Eastern Europe, or in Siberia, or wherever I travel. If they are together with the Word of God, and in the fellowship of Jesus and the saints, time is just not there. It's some bit of eternity that we experience.

And I really hope that you'll feel relaxed. I'm not going to speak long tonight. I'm probably too tired for that. We've been on the go for many weeks now. We are in such a hurry that we travel by private plane in order to make it.

We sometimes travel all through the night to have our meeting the next morning in a faraway place. And when I came here, I just came from Cuba. In January I left home for Cuba. And when I had to be in New York, five weeks ago I did not turn up.

My friend was there all by himself waiting. He didn't know where Andrew was. But, you know, five weeks ago they started the purge in Cuba, and I happened to be there. They took me off the plane. They wouldn't let me go.

And when I returned to Havana, the brethren were rejoicing. They said, Praise the Lord, Andrew! We were praying that you would stay longer. I said, Now, I said, You're not praying against me, are you?

Because I have to be in New York today. And there I was, back in Havana. But I said, Lord, if I have to stay in Cuba, you must really make it clear why. And the Lord did. We had a tremendous time in the extra days I had to stay in Cuba.

Many people came to the Lord. Many came forward for prayer. It was just great. And the Lord did some great miracles of healing. Many came forward to receive the Spirit. Many were encouraged. And then suddenly they phoned.

Four and a half weeks ago. And said, Sir, you can go. So I boarded the very first plane. And not many planes leave in Cuba, of course. And I got on and joined my friend in Northern Maine. And there was a lot of snow there.

It's quite a change from Cuba. And I'm really glad to be in California. I always liked the warm climate. And after I was converted, I really wanted to serve the Lord on a warm mission field. So he sent me to Siberia.

The Great Commission in Matthew 28

Well, let's read from Matthew 28. The last three verses. Matthew 28, verse 18. Jesus comes. I could speak on that one word really all evening. And Jesus came. Change that comes when Jesus comes. The joy that floods your soul when Jesus comes.

Jesus came. And speak unto them, saying, All power, or all authority, has been committed unto me in heaven and on earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you. And lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. And Jesus came. Exactly 18 years ago, he came into my heart. And I was brought up in a Reformed church in a little village where everybody knew everybody, which can be quite embarrassing at times.

And it can be a great advantage because they are in a position to check up whether anything did change in your life or not. And I understand that you have had a visit here from a Dutch girl, Margaret.

And I've known her for many years. But one day I was in Holland in Hilversum and I gave my testimony and I told them, the people there, what a bad boy I had been. You'll read more about that in the book, of course.

We even scared the Germans with our firecrackers. They thought they were being shot at. And I told them and afterwards, a man came to me, shook hands with me. He said, you know, Andrew, at that time I was the policeman in your village.

Oh, I blushed, you know. And I was too bad. By the way, that was Margaret's father. Yes. There is something wonderful when Jesus comes and he changes your life so that people see it. And in this little extreme Calvinist village where everybody goes to church on Sunday and when most of them put away their religion the same time they put away their Sunday suit and leave it there until next Sunday when they put it on again, there they saw the difference that was, that came to our lives when Jesus came.

And several young people accepted the Lord around that time. I just happened to be the first. Then my friend was born to the Lord and we born others. And you know, within a few years all those young people went to the mission field.

Hundred percent of our youth group is today on the mission field. Not one stayed in Holland. And I'll tell you tonight why. And I'll tell you why I am pessimistic about the world situation and why I long for the return of Jesus Christ.

And I'll tell you why the Lord is pouring out his Spirit. Because he has a purpose in that. And the purpose is not us, but the world whom he wants to reach through us. Now here Jesus comes to his disciples and he looks them into their eyes and he has a plan.

And I want to assure you that Jesus whole being was just filled with that one plan that he had. After he finished that great marvelous work of carrying away the sin and the sickness of the whole world in his body on the cross.

After he cried out that it was finished. After he was buried and had three busy days while his body remained in the grave and his Spirit went into the deepest parts of the underworld to proclaim his victory.

After he rose from the dead the very first thing he said to his disciples was that they had to go out into all the world and preach the gospel. Actually his first words when he met all the disciples together on the day of the resurrection was As the Father has sent me so send I you.

The Great Commission. And then for forty days Jesus spoke about nothing else but the kingdom of God and how they were to proclaim his message of the kingdom of the sovereign rule of God to every nation and every tribe and every creature.

And then in the very last minute before he was taken up on ascension day he spoke still about this very same thing. And he said that ye shall receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you and ye shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem and then Judea, Samaria and further and further until you reach the uttermost part of the world.

Then he was suddenly taken away from them. One theme only. The Great Commission. The marching orders for the church. But you know Jesus is so loving and tender and understanding and such a great great psychologist.

Christ’s Authority on Earth and the Church’s Fear

Before he gives us that Great Commission before he tells us to go out into all the world he is first going to encourage us. And here he makes probably in my opinion the greatest encouraging statement that you can find in all of the world's literature.

He says that full authority in heaven and by the way we have no problem believing that. All evangelical Christians in the world believe that Jesus has all authority in heaven. That's no problem. We always believe the things we can't see, don't we?

We always believe. It's easy to believe the things that will come later. Miriam Massa believed that Jesus would raise Lazarus later. Everything later. Glory later. We'll be healed later. Oh yes, later.

Everything later. All theology is just saturated with the blessings we'll have later. But Jesus doesn't leave it there. He says and all authority has been committed unto me on earth. This is the most encouraging thing you can hear from the lips of Jesus.

And let me tell you the truth tonight. Hardly any Christian believes this because we are scared stiff of the political situation in the world. We are scared stiff of the Iron Curtain. We are scared stiff of the Red Chinese.

We are scared stiff about Vietnam. We are scared stiff about Cuba. We are scared stiff about the hippie movement and anarchism and crime increase. We are scared stiff because in reality we don't believe that Jesus has all authority on earth.

Isn't that true? We really believe Jesus should never have any tension, any mental stress or breakdown. This only occurs when we disbelieve Jesus' words. And let me tell you this. I am here as a representative.

And I feel a tremendous weight of responsibility of that. I am here as a representative for more than one third of the entire world population that we have written off because they are in the communist countries.

And we don't go there as missionaries. Not because doors are not open, because doors are open, but because we are so afraid. We are scared stiff. We are cowards. We are unbelievers. We believe Jesus' words.

We only want to believe the verses that tell us about our salvation, our joy, our future, our blessings. We never think about those words that have a far-reaching effect if we would believe them. An effect that indeed would turn the world upside down if we would act upon those words.

Authority is in the pierced hands of Jesus Christ our Savior and Lord. Do you believe that? Then we must act upon it, friends. It's a crime that there are only a handful of missionaries working in the communist countries.

It's a crime that we let them die. And this is what I have on my calling card. I have a Bible verse there. Strengthen the things which remain that are ready to die. And as I travel in the communist countries, and I have done so now for thirteen years, full time, traveling in and out, continually, in the communist countries, practically all of them, and I see that the church is dying because we don't go there and strengthen them.

But if the Bible says strengthen the things which remain that are ready to die, it means that if we do not strengthen the things which still remain, then they will die. Tragic situation today is that there are already four countries without a single place of worship behind the Iron Curtain.

We just let the devil have his go there. We let the atheists take over, and we don't interfere as a church. And militarily we can do nothing about this. We shouldn't, is it? Our battle, our struggle is not against blood and flesh, but against the principalities in the air, evil wicked spirits, the demonical powers.

That's our warfare. But we don't do it. We let them die. We never visit them. Oh, I've been to spirit-filled groups and many other churches where, when I stood up to introduce myself, people wept. They wept all over the audience and said, Brother, you are the first one to visit us since the outbreak of war or of the revolution.

Then I began to weep. And I asked them forgiveness. Why didn't we care? If we don't care, how can they survive? How can they live? How can any part of the body live if the other parts of the body don't care?

How can this arm live if the heart doesn't care for this arm? If the heart doesn't pump any blood to this arm, the arm will die. You don't have to be a medical doctor to understand that. How can any part of the body remain alive if the heart or the stomach or the brain wouldn't care for any of those parts?

You can't do it. The same in the body of Christ. You cannot remain alive unless the whole body cares for the whole body. And if we write off one-third of the world population, they will die. And they are dying.

I'm very pessimistic. I'm sorry for you. I'm more sorry for them. They are dying because we don't care. And I am like a voice in the wilderness. Many people even don't believe me. Many people don't believe Woulombrand either.

I had a fellowship with him yesterday. And I have great confidence in this man. A man who suffered so much for Christ. He can't go there anymore, but we can. I just came out of Cuba and I'm going back to Cuba.

Every year I go back to Cuba. But first I must go to Vietnam. And then I must go to Red China again. And then I'll go to Cuba. We must do something. Half of all the evangelical pastors in Cuba are in prison.

Is that nothing to you or to me? Are we not willing to make a sacrifice for those people that right now are in prison in a hall not much larger than this with 250 in one hall? Because the prisons are so crowded.

I spoke to several of them. I even prayed with an American missionary who was just released from prison in Cuba. And there are many missionaries in Cuba in prison. All of them except this one who was just released because of his ill health.

Forty percent of the seminary students are in concentration camp in Cuba. And if young people are active for the Lord Jesus Christ they go to concentration camp and they know it. Concentration camp in Cuba is called YUMAP.

This badge was given me four weeks ago in Cuba by a former inmate of the concentration camp, a young friend of mine, who spent one year in concentration camp. He autographed it for me. I treasure this little thing because it makes me pray.

It forces me to pray every day for my brothers and sisters in concentration camp, part of the body of which I am part of, the body of Christ. This is the situation. What are we doing about it? You say, what can I do about it?

Believing Christ’s Authority and Supporting Persecuted Churches

I'll tell you tonight, I'll tell you exactly what you have to know and if you still have questions after that I'll answer your questions. What can you do about it? First, believe the Bible. Believe what Jesus Christ says, that he has all authority in heaven and on earth.

That means there is no authority in Washington nor in Moscow, nor in Peking, nor in Hanoi, nor in Havana. It's in the hands of Jesus. And if Jesus Christ, your Savior, is your Lord also, don't only talk about Jesus as your Savior.

Don't only talk about him as your healer or baptizer. Think of him as your Lord and Master and King. Believe what he says, that he has all authority and that nothing will be impossible for those that believe.

That's what the Bible says. Nothing will be impossible and please let's not be selfish anymore and just think about the blessings that we can receive by believing on Jesus. Let us think of the blessings that will come to the others, if I believe.

God did not give the comforter to make us comfortable, but to make us comforters. He gave the gospel to pass it on. This is what he has always said. He called those fishermen and he said, come and I will make you to become fishers of men.

He called them to pass on the message and that's why the gospel is called the gospel. It means good news. Now good, it can only be good if it comes in time for them to have their lives changed and their surroundings and their society.

And news, it can only be news if they have never heard it before. Gospel is therefore a tithing to those that have never heard it and they must hear it in time. And we are just failing because we don't give them in time.

Churches are dying in all countries the church has died. And when I traveled through Central Asia, there was a Russian sister here with whom I talked. I was in her own city. I was several times there in Central Asia.

And I've been in those churches and the youngest members are 50 or 60 years old. I know young people there. They're dying. Just a bunch of old and very old people with the saddest faces that you've ever seen.

When you really look at them for a long time you begin to weep. I made color slides of those faithful and they were singing what a friend we have in Jesus. And when I show those slides on I just cannot look at them long and I get tears in my eyes because I see all the sorrow and the suffering they have gone through in their imprisonment in Siberia.

We didn't help them. And I'm just about the only one who sometimes comes and what do I? I hardly help them either. So little I can do. We need thousands that do the same. We have to help them more in a more substantial way.

We can do it if we want to. We can do it if we believe. If we believe the words of Jesus that He has all authority then nothing and no one can stop us. Do you believe that? I'm not talking about little things.

I'm not talking about how you can have your headache healed or your toothache. I'm talking about how we can conquer the world by having faith in Jesus Christ. I've seen a vision and I know that God does heal.

He healed me. You can read that in the book too. I was an invalid boy when I was 21. Because they always kept shooting at me. I was usually there where they were shooting by the way ever since I was 11 years of age.

Joined the resistance group in Holland against the Nazis for five years and then joined the army when I was 17 fighting against Sukarno. And when I was badly wounded they took me to hospital. That's where I began to turn to Christ.

Holy. But surely. And I have seen it. And I know what I'm talking about. What are we doing? We need people that believe in eternity and will die for it and live for it. I have seen the world. And when I returned as an invalid boy God called me to be a missionary and I had every reason to say no.

Lack of education. I had only been a fighter. I had never studied. I was too bashful to say good morning to people. Honestly. They hardly believed it but it's true. I was not a speaker. I had never studied English nor any other language.

Hardly Dutch. But God called me to be a missionary and the moment I said yes I was healed instantly. And I walked ten miles at evening. Although before I had never been able to walk more than a quarter of an hour.

I wasn't even allowed to do work that I had to do standing on my feet. I had to sit all the time. I was weak. I was an invalid. But God healed me because he gave me a vision and I said yes. And I think God heals more people through obedience than through prayer.

Because prayer should never be a substitute for obedience. And I still live on miracles. I never shared it but this is the first time I shared it in the United States. I've just about traveled myself to death.

The doctor doesn't allow me to travel anymore. Two years ago, exactly two years ago I was on my back. I wrote it to Brother Khan. I was on my back and it looked very, very bad and I called a specialist.

A spirit-filled specialist. And he examined me and he shook his head. He said, Andrew, your body is no longer a temple to the glory of God. You're finished. You cannot travel anymore. And I was sad because I know why my body is broken.

I know why I can't travel anymore. I know why I couldn't lift up my little children for the last year and a half. Because I was alone in one third of the world traveling in and out of the communist countries encouraging them, speaking five times a day, traveling all night, traveling 1 ,000 miles a day in my little Volkswagen.

All through those countries. No time to eat. No time to sleep. And then this specialist said, Andrew, how do you want me to treat you? As a doctor or as a brother? I said, as a brother. So he opened his phallus with all the instruments and he took out a bottle of oil.

And he anointed me in the name of Jesus. And the Lord touched me and I got up again. And I'm still traveling. But on a daily miracle. And I want to wear myself out challenging young people to full-time commitment to service of Jesus in the tough countries.

Risk, Sacrifice, and Missionary Commitment

I want them to go to Vietnam as missionaries, as soul winners. There is not a single full gospel fellowship in all of Vietnam. Because no, never has any full gospel or spirit-filled missionary gone to Vietnam.

What about that? You can't speak about revival if we leave those countries to die. Because God is not going to give us revival. Why should He? Have we deserved it? Don't you think they deserve it more than we?

God will not give us revival. Unless we become obedient. I want them to go to Siberia. They say, oh, you can't do it. Let me tell you, I was all by myself in Siberia. It's not always that easy. I agree.

It took me three quarters of an hour to enter a certain Baptist church. Because four Russian men jumped on my back and began to fight with me. Nobody helped me, although many people saw it on the street.

They were all scared to help a foreigner that would rather see me killed than they almost did. But after three quarters of an hour, I was in the church and I was still alive. But as I traveled all by myself in Siberia, sometimes the hotels were crowded with American tourists.

Hundreds of Americans in Siberia. No Christians, only tourists. Why is that? Explorers go to countries where missionaries don't go. Read about that in National Geographic magazine. They go to the most impossible places where no missionary has ever been.

Why? Why don't we pay that price? I came in Hong Kong. On the way to Red China, I met my old friend George Patterson, the writer of God's Fool, an old veteran missionary. I said, George, you look thin.

What happened to you? He said, Well, I just returned from Tibet. I said, How did you get into Tibet? Well, he said, I walked over the Himalayas. No problem. You see, if you're willing to pay the price, you'll get there, regardless.

But we've got to get out of the idea that we have to be surrounded by all kinds of security. We must become people who dare to take a risk and throw ourselves without any reserves into the everlasting arms as a Lord to unify.

Now, you must do a miracle. I'm afraid that we surround ourselves with so much security and insurances that we don't need God or His miracles anymore. Well, that's why God doesn't do any miracles. We don't need Him.

If we get sick, there's always somebody to take care of us. If we get out of business or whatever happens, if our house burns down, we've insured everything, haven't we? Our car, everything. So why should God do miracles?

Now, this is the point. Why don't we go there? Why don't we trust that Jesus has all authority and that He can keep us, that He can do miracles? On one of my trips to Russia, of course, I travel a lot there because it's pretty near to Holland, about 2 ,000 miles to Moscow.

One of the pastors, the leading pastor, told me, he said, Andrew, do you know that there are more than 2 ,000 evangelical pastors that have no Bible?

Stop now. Turn the cassette over at this point and begin playing side two. When I heard that,.

Smuggling Bibles to Bible-less Churches

I could have wept. I love Bibles. I have many, many translations. I'm not going to tell you how many, but I just love them. I love the Word. I love to study the Word and compare it in different languages and translations.

And there were 2 ,000 evangelical Russian pastors that had no Bible. And many of them, in churches where not a single member had even a New Testament. Just Bible-less churches. Why are they Bible-less?

Just because we didn't care. There's no other answer. Because we can get them in if we want to. So there and then, I prayed to the brethren, and to God, that within two years I would teach them that every Russian pastor would get their Bible.

Then the real struggle began. There's quite a chapter in the book, too. I had to put up my house for sale. The Lord had just given us a house. Because the babies began to arrive and we had no place to live.

We had nothing that we could call our own. God gave us a house. And we had to put it up for sale in order to buy Russian Bibles. And at the very last moment, God intervened. The Bible Society in Holland offered that they would take care of that addition financially, and that I would just stay as I needed it, and not have to pay the whole addition in its bounds.

It was a great, great miracle. Well, we began to get Russian Bibles. And we knew it was not allowed to take any Bibles into Russia, because the Bible there is the most expensive item on the black market.

It still is. If you want to get rich, get Bibles to Russia. Sell them. I never sell them. I want to be rich in heaven. Not allowed to take them in, so I try to be a good boy. I never take in more than 700 at a time.

And when we get to the border, there is a real battle. All the evil forces oppose us. We know it. They try to scare us. They will try to tell us that we'll get imprisoned, that we'll never see our family anymore.

Of course, it's a criminal offense to deal with things of the black market in a communist country. So we get to the border, and we just pray. We say, Lord Jesus, you have made so many blind eyes to see.

Surely it's the same job for you to make those seeing eyes blind. Lord, do it now. And the Lord does. The Lord loves to do miracles, if he has to. But we've got to live so dangerously that the Lord just has to do miracles.

And then he does. But why do we never put God to the test? The Bible tells us that there are a host of angels around us. I think they're absolutely jobless. Because we're so terribly organized that the angels have no work on us.

That's what I think. It's time we get the angels busy. And, well, we do actually. On our trips, of course. And I want you to get involved by entering into this concept. On the basis of Jesus having all authority so that we never panic.

There's no panic in heaven. It shouldn't be in your heart either. We can tackle every situation, worldwide, internationally even. If we have faith in God. The apostles had faith in God. Because before Jesus sent them, this is what he tells them, that he has all authority.

And then this group of, well, say, 120, they turned the world upside down. And there's an amazing parallel between their time and ours. In that time of the apostles, one-third of the entire world population was under the Roman rule and very cruel.

They opposed the gospel. Terrible. Wherever the apostles went, they were persecuted and killed. But nevertheless, they went. And when they were in prison, they're in prison. They founded the church. They did so in Philippi.

They did in Rome. They did everywhere. You know, this whole Roman Empire began to crumble through the undermining power of the Christians. This is what the historians tell us. Why should it not happen again?

The Great Commission as a Challenge to Communism

One-third of the entire world population is under communism. And the more you fight them from the outside, the stronger they get. But if we get in and strengthen these spiritual forces that are still there, encourage the believers and preach the full message there, and get young people into the fold, and get Bibles in so that they can study the Word of God themselves.

If we strengthen that which still remains, then they can undermine this godless atheist regime. And they can do more than all the nations politically and militarily can do. Don't you believe that? Why don't we invest more in that?

Why don't we concentrate on that? This is the great challenge of our time. When the challenge first came to me thirteen years ago while I was in Bible college, I learned there was a militant atheist youth organization of ninety-seven million members.

Today this group is hundred-twenty million members. By far the largest organization in the world, of the Young Communist League, all wearing the red scarves. And I've seen them. I've seen them training with their red banners.

I've seen them marching proudly, ate the bread, miles and miles of bread. And I just kept weeping the side of the road because I was the only one I couldn't reach. I could only reach one or two. I've seen them preparing for a world revolution.
