Bible smugglers smuggle Bibles into Poland from Netherlands
Tim and Pat Phillips spent eight tense days smuggling about 1000 Bibles and Christian materials into Poland via a Roosendaal-based mission. They trained at a Dutch farmhouse, crossed East Germany and Poland undercover, and relied on faith to direct them to contacts while avoiding capture. They funded the trip themselves totaling about 2700 dollars with some church support.
