BMM missionary Alexander de Chalandeau was invited to a local church to visit the contents of its missionary cupboard. He selected a high-tech calculator with a $19 price tag on it. He asked, “Could I give it to a Romanian deacon? His little son Andrew needs daily medicine for epileptic manifestations. The calculator would sell for much more there and allow him to buy the needed medicine.” The ladies in charge of the missionary cupboard gladly consented. Dr. de Chalandeau carried it back to Europe. At that time, in 1986, Romania was under Communist rule. So, along with the calculator, Dr. de Chalandeau packed Bibles and basic humanitarian supplies, as he usually did, and delivered the help to the secret “underground” churches there. At his destination, Dr. de Chalandeau shared with the brethren about the calculator. A believer working in East Germany mentioned that selling the calculator in that country would fetch a higher price. It did. That $200 purchased a plane ticket to the United States. The family received help from several sources, and their little Andrew underwent brain surgery. Dr. de Chalandeau lost contact with the family after the operation. In 2003, when he visited Romanian believers living in Detroit, Michigan, he was Andrew again, now a strong young man who is a born-again, baptized member of a Romanian Baptist Church (at left in photo). After the church service, the believers told de Chalandeau: “We very much appreciated the Bibles you brought, as well as the other supplies, but the greatest blessing was the fact that you came to minister to us so faithfully and regularly during a time when practically no one came to visit us from abroad.” Through Dr. de Chalandeau’s influence, the lives of Andrew and many other families were changed for Christ.
