The Happy Smuggler

Fishing for the King

Charles Mithowa laid his head on the the table in front of me and began to weep. It was a warm African night in the city of Blantyre, Malawi, and we were sitting together in a small restaurant.

I Prayed 10 Years for this Bible

"You must be an angel!" Yang Mei told the courier. He had just handed her a brand new Chinese Bible, something she would never have dared to purchase, as she knew too many believers who had been imprisoned after purchasing government-printed Bibles. She had resigned herself to the fact that she would never own a copy of God's Word. "Glory to God for the big and great present you have given me!" Yang Mei exclaimed, bubbling with joy. It was a dream come true.
