Brings up an interesting issue for another thread ... I've seen this time and time again during 30 plus years of being around Spanish ministry ... many of these folks are undocumented ... yet had they not come here illegally they would have never been saved or be used to save others. Not assuming anything about the status of those in your post ....
Interesting paradox .... especially for those xenophobes that profess to be Christians.

Thankfully God still knows how to do His job Daniel.

That's why I chuckle at those who have not lived w/, fellowshipped or served these people of God ... but cast judgment as to whether they are hypocrites for being here illegally but go to church and profess to be His.
I've heard these arguments here. I'll start a thread on this later ... got a testimony to share w/ it.

How sad, our job is to bring souls into the kingdom not keep them out.

So it's ok to commit felony as long as its for a good motive? Get real, they are here for economic benefits and happen to go to church while they are here.
In your analogy it would be ok to rob a bank as long as the money went to feed the poor?
The end justifies the means is NOT Biblical

Doesn't that sound a little like Robin Hood? Everyone really liked him.

I do know that we shout about how some missionary was able to smuggle some Bibles into a country that had laws that forbid them. Does the end justify the means here?

Apples and oranges. Are the missionaries there to make money and happen to bring Bibles with them?

Don't you see a huge difference here?
No one from mexico has to come to America to hear the Gospel.
Bibles are readily available in Mexico.

Oh yeah ... and what of the missionary stories of men in organizations we are familiar w/ that are preaching illegally in countries that do not want them to.
