Romanian pastor who survived the tortures of the gulag by preaching sermons to himself in his underground cell
RICHARD WURMBRAND, who has died aged 91, was a Romanian Lutheran pastor whose determination to spread the word of God led to his being imprisoned for 14 years and tortured by the Communist authorities.
Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.-Hebrews 13:3
The founder of the Voice of the Martyrs, Pastor Richard Wurmbrand, loved people. He and his wife, Sabina, had a great passion to lead others to Christ.
We have written about his courage as he stood alone among more than 1,000 leaders to denounce the control of Romanian communism. The communists had closed Sunday schools and oppressed the church. Pastor Wurmbrand resisted the communists’ control of the church and went underground. He held services for youth attending his church in front of the lion’s den at the Bucharest Zoo to prepare them for battle with the world. Pastor Wurmbrand led his little Lutheran congregation, composed of many Jewish converts, to the Bucharest train station to toss Russian Gospels into the windows of passing trains filled with invading Russian soldiers. The soldiers kept the Gospels. For many such acts of aggressive love, he and his wife both went to prison.
When Richard and Sabina began the work of VOM in October 1967 in America, some might think they would have been changed by living in an open, wealthy nation where everything could come easy for famous, gifted people. But their love, their burden - whether for helping those persecuted abroad or right next door - remained the same.
Pastor Wurmbrand woke up early in the morning with long lists of names of people. One by one, he would pray for them. He and Sabina fasted one day a week.
One night there was a great crash. Richard, now in his 70s, had fallen on the bathroom floor and fractured his skull. The next morning in his hospital room, he began to pull on his clothes to leave. The frantic nurses came in to tell him he could not get up. He said, “How can I sit in bed with only a little pain in my head when I am supposed to speak in Berlin where the people suffer much more than I do?” At the time, Berlin, Germany, was a walled-off city surrounded by the East German communist military. He flew to Germany.
After coming to America, Pastor Wurmbrand never owned a house or a car. Being older, he took driving lessons but was kindly told by the instructor that it would be better to save his money. On one of their trips flying overseas, he and Sabina would approach an airline counter with about 12 suitcases of clothes they had purchased at a used clothing store, clothes to be carried into communist Eastern Europe for persecuted Christians. The stunned airline agents crumbled under their heartfelt appeal and let them take the clothes.
When Richard and Sabina passed from earth, the house they lived in was sold and the funds used for international ministry. They had moved to an eternal house.
After Pastor Wurmbrand’s funeral, his son, Michael Wurmbrand, held a special dinner. A young woman told her story. She had worked for a florist and delivered flowers to Richard and Sabina’s home in Southern California. Sabina graciously invited her inside. Richard told her an old story of the Emperor of Japan who visited a garden to see only one flower, a very special flower. Then Pastor Wurmbrand looked at her and said, “And you are God’s special flower. This is why you came today. God loves you. You are special to Him.” She came to Christ. Her life was changed forever.
Whether he was speaking to his torturer in a Romanian prison or to a flower delivery girl in America, Pastor Wurmbrand knew that our highest calling is to be witnesses of the love and grace of God.
His legacy continues on around the world.

God bless you all that have tasted death and returned. God bless you all that are just hanging on by a thread. God bless you all that have gotten so used to pain that life without it seems odd. God bless you all that have gotten so close to ending your life but chose the pain of living instead. God bless you all that willingly give. God bless you all that smile back at strangers. God bless you all that will take time out of your lives to enrich somebody else's. God bless you ALL!

I ain’t happy. I tasted death and he showed me true love. Then he ripped her away and now wants me to be happy with “nothing” I ask if it’s ok to pray for her or hope on her reconciliation and he says “let her go”.

@@leecrotty658 My brother, I understand your pain. I've been through 5 divorces. I've learned that He wants to be everything to me. And that I made some very poor choices in my life. I tried to kill myself twice. I thought a man could fill my life but that's a lie. Only Jesus can fill us. I'm not happy with my life right now because of difficult circumstances but life isn't about happiness. We're only on this earth a short while. It feels long when we're hurting. I now only look forward to going home to be with Jesus. There is nothing in this life better than that. The Apostle Paul said " for I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us" Romans 8:18. Trust Him in all of the areas of your life and I will pray for you.

@@leecrotty658 Sorry to hear that Lee. But what if you never knew her? How many years did yo have with Her? Eternity is our destination not this broken flesh. I've never been in love so I don't know that pain. However this year I'm a 30 year brain tumor survivor. I had cancer when I was 12. I'm 42 and I've had 3 strokes already. 30 years without depth perception, 30 years with limited peripheral vision, 30 years with a lazy eye, 30 years of short and long term memory problems, 30 years of learning disabilities, 30 years or hormone problems and more. I have sleep apnea. I've quit using my cpap and I'm entering exhaustion. It's a terrible place that I'm familiar with. Sorry Lee, I don't know your pain but I know pain well. It's easy to overlook how blessed we are. It's easy to focus on pain. Imagine your existence without her. You must see the blessing.
