Kun nuori hollantilaismies sai sydämelleen Raamattujen salakuljettamisen Itä-Eurooppaan, alkoi suuri seikkailu. Toisen maailmansodan jälkeen rautaesiripun takana elävät kristityt olivat yksinäisempiä kuin koskaan. Heitä vainottiin uskonsa tähden, ja he luulivat jääneensä unohduksiin. Veli Andreaksen rohkea toiminta osoitti luulon vääräksi. Hän salakuljetti ensin muutamia, sitten satoja, sitten tuhansia Raamattuja rajojen yli niitä kipeästi tarvitseville. Hänen tositarinaansa lukee kuin jännityskertomusta, ja se onkin innoittanut miljoonia ihmisiä kautta maailman. Yhden miehen missiosta syntyi Open Doors -järjestö, joka palvelee vainottuja kristittyjä jo yli 60 maassa. Tämä juhlapainos sisältää valokuvia Veli Andreaksen matkoilta ja erikoishaastattelun, jossa hän kertoo muun muassa käynneistään Gazassa ja muualla Lähi-idässä sekä Kiinassa ja Afrikan maissa. Hän pohtii myös seurakunnan nykyisiä haasteita.
