Rising above circumstances, the couple chose to view their persecutors not as enemies but as an opportunity for mission - to show the love and forgiveness displayed by the Gospel.Ĭhanneling their passion to helping fellow believers who found themselves giving their all for Christ, the Wurmbrands co-founded VOM, an interdenominational missions organization that today continues to proudly serve persecuted Christians around the world. Experiencing the Nazi occupation of Romania in 1940, the Wurmbrand’s were captured, imprisoned and tortured. “Sabina ” conveys the realities of religious persecution and the cost of following Christ when faith is forbidden. I hope that we all find inspiration in Sabina’s example-and the example of so many modern-day heroes of faith-to pay any necessary price to obey Christ’s call.” “Powerful stories like Sabina’s are a testament to the remarkable faith of our Christian brothers and sisters who would rather give up comfort, safety or even their lives than deny Jesus. It is happening in more than 70 nations right now-in the 21st Century,” said Todd Nettleton, host of The Voice of the Martyrs Radio. “It is important to understand that Christian persecution is not a myth or a thing of the past, something that ended after the last chapter of Acts. The first request of persecuted Christians around the world, who continue to suffer today for wearing the name of Christ just as the Wurmbrands did, is “Pray for us!” 7, the International Day of Prayer for Persecuted Christians (IDOP). VOM is inviting Christians everywhere to be part of a Global Prayer Movement on Nov. Like Christians living in hostile areas around the world today, the Wurmbrands chose to give up their comfort and safety in order to find a life that counts for eternity.
