Open Doors was founded in 1955 by Andrew van der Bijl, a Dutchman more widely known as Brother Andrew, when he decided to smuggle Bibles to persecuted Christians in Communist Poland.[2] He continued this work in smuggling Bibles to many of the Soviet-controlled countries and in 1957 was given a blue Volkswagen Beetle which he used to make deliveries within the Communist bloc.[3] With this new car he was able to carry more literature. Thereafter, the work of Open Doors continued to expand as it extended its network throughout Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. The name "Open Doors" referencing that of a welcoming group due to the doors being open at all times. He was responsible for smuggling millions of Bibles behind the Iron Curtain.[4]
In 1988, Open Doors used Glasnost[8] as an opportunity to openly provide one million Russian Bibles to the Russian Orthodox Church, at a cost of $2.5 million.[9] Open Doors partnered with the United Bible Societies to complete the task in just over one year.[10]
I was able to unlock my doors. It took multiple attempts as the iPhone cycled through ids before it hits the matching id in my access control software.I was pretty surprised and I'm now wondering how to get it to use correct sooner/consistently.
This should work. I can already unlock the my doors with my phone it just runs through a series of keys before it sends a matching key.I think I just need to establish which key belongs to my building so that there are fewer errors or turn off the beep on failure...

I have also created a counseling practice known as Open Doors Counseling Center. The core values for ODCC are Professionalism, Respect, Integrity, Diversity, and Excellence (PRIDE). I will make serving LGBTQ+ people a priority in communities across the great state of Kentucky but I especially want to reach rural communities where a huge gap exists for being able to find and access LGBTQ+ affirming and competent services. LGBTQ+ allies and other people will also be welcome in our center regardless of identity. Telehealth services will be used to allow people to access services that they otherwise would not be able to access and for people may not be ready to walk through our doors.

These ideas varied, but common traits emerged in congregations that succeeded in engaging new people: dedicated core volunteers; community partnerships; a hopeful, curious outlook; and an empathetic, user-centered approach to planning. Many congregations found that, to truly open their doors to new people and partnerships, they needed to lower their expectations that their new idea would increase worship attendance.
