Andrew van der Bijl (better known as Brother Andrew) is a Christian missionary born in1928 in the Netherlands, and remembered for his exploits in smuggling Bibles into communist countries at the height of the Cold War, for which he earned the nickname "God's smuggler" and wrote of his experiences in a book by the same name (1967).  He founded an organisation called "Open Doors" to support Christians in countries where their freedom is limited or non-existent.
