As Christians we are to obey all laws, except for those laws which forbid us to preach the Gospel, or which limit us from telling others about God's love! We have been expressly commanded by Jesus Christ to "go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every person!" (Mark 16:15) -- And if man's laws contradict that, then, as St.Peter said, "We ought to obey God rather than men." (Acts 5:29) Many Christians around the world today are courageously involved in preaching the Gospel in "closed" countries, faithfully risking their lives to win the world to Jesus, and, just as He did to Brother Andrew, the Lord mightily blesses and protects them! |
My name is James Arendt. I was raised in the Hegewisch neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois, served in the USAF from 1970 to 1974, and became a full-time missionary for Christ living 40 years in Japan, 3.5 years in Russia, and a few months in other countries such as Finland, Poland, Estonia, Latvia, South Korea, Taiwan and mainland China where I also served the King of Kings, Jesus, as an Ambassador for His Kingdom. My full bio.
On September 24, 2023, I had an accident and broke the bone of the tip of my left elbow. A boy ran in front of my motorbike less than 2 meters from me as I was leaving home. I stopped suddenly and my front tire slid on the sandy concrete road which caused me to fall. I did not hit the boy. On October 18th I had surgery done on my elbow. The doctor put in titanium rods to hold my bones together. The entire procedure including an entire week in the hospital was roughly $4000 USD. This was done in the Philippines where my wife and I have been living since June this year.
It would be a super blessing to us if any of the visitors of this website can help us cover this expense!
