HOLY SPY
Student ministry in Eastern Europe

This is the story of the beginnings of the IFES work in Central Europe, told through the eyes of Alex Williams whose ten years of active travel form the back drop for an inside look at life under Communism and the early development of the significant and important work of IFES.
Sections of the book are firsthand accounts written by men and women, now Christian leaders in their countries, telling of the impact of IFES staff during their formative years. By giving them a voice the book reflects the high value IFES has always demonstrated by respecting local believers. It is also refreshingly honest about the struggles and difficulties of juggling a specific calling to a travelling ministry and a general calling to family and other responsibilities.
