As Andrew's journeys multiplied — through Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria — a pattern emerged: everywhere he went, he found believers who were hungry, isolated, and praying for exactly what he was carrying.
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Andrew visited a remarkable range of Communist-controlled countries in Eastern Europe. What patterns did he notice across these different national contexts — in terms of church life, government hostility, believer hunger, and spiritual vitality?
2.One of the recurring and astonishing details in these chapters is the sense that Andrew's arrival in a city was somehow expected — believers had prayed and sensed that help was coming, and then he showed up. How do you make theological sense of those moments? What do they say about the nature of corporate prayer?
3.Romans 10:14 asks, 'How can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?' How does Andrew's work embody this verse in a very literal, physical way — actually delivering the text that makes hearing possible?
a.Who 'sent' Andrew, in the sense Paul means in Romans 10:15?
b.Who has 'sent' you — either in a formal way or through their example and encouragement — toward the people God has called you to reach?
