Jeremy Marshall was 10 when his pastor father took him on Bible-smuggling trips into the Soviet Union.

His father would pack him, his three younger sisters and his mother into the family's red Austin 1800, the boot crammed with Bibles, and drive them through Europe to Ukraine visiting Kiev, Kharkiv and Donetsk, cities that are in such conflict today. They drove on to Minsk, Smolensk and Leningrad and all over Russia. Other holiday trips took them to Poland, Yugoslavia and Bulgaria.
