Healthier living, safer living and also providing dignity to marginalised people who earn a living.

Miracle in the minefield

by Colin Dexter

In some Central Asian countries the bible is banned. One group of brave Christians was trying to deliver Bibles across the border into another country. The border was highly guarded, so they had to find a place with no watchtowers. They eventually found a gap with a path to cross.

For two months they were able to take Bibles into that country. Then one day they were caught by the border patrol.

“How did you enter the country?” the soldiers asked. “Where are you from? How did you get here?” They pointed to the path.

“No , you cannot have come that way,” they said “That’s a minefield”

For two months they had been walking through a minefield! The guards let them go. “If Allah has protected you we cannot imprison you” they said.
