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 wife Tess and I moved from the island of Guam USA in June 2023 to the city of Allen in the province of Northern Samar, one of the poorer provinces in the Philippines. My only work is maintaining my websites, Deep Truths, and James Japan which costs me $300 per year now. And Tess is ministering to the local people giving them regular Bible Studies in three groups, children, teenagers and adults.
