Smuggling Bibles into restricted nations is risky business. But that has never deterred my friend, missionary Patrick Klein, from jumping onto an airplane, flying for 30 hours or more, and risking arrest to provide desperate Christians and others the Word of God.

Like me, Patrick will tell you that during his travels around the globe, one of the first replies he gets from Christians when he asks what can be done for them is, "Bring us Bibles!"

Whether it's in China, Iran, Cuba, Burma, or beyond, Bibles are in great demand. Patrick and his Vision Beyond Borders team make sure they are delivered.

Klein has written a book about his experiences called By Faith Alone: Confessions of a Bible Smuggler.

Watch my interview with Patrick to hear him discuss how the recent U.S. diplomatic opening to Cuba may affect Christians there. He also talks about some of the close calls he's had going through customs in Cuba and elsewhere.

Also, find out what concerns him the most as he travels around the globe bringing the Good News to a lost and hurting world.
