“Even in chains… it advances with power.”
Richard Wurmbrand was imprisoned and tortured for preaching Christ under Communist rule - but the Gospel never stopped moving.
In this episode of MTN.fire, we tell the story of a man who spent fourteen years in a Romanian prison for his faith. He lost everything but never lost his song. From tapping sermons through the walls to forgiving the guards who beat him, Wurmbrand’s story proves that the Gospel doesn’t need freedom to flourish - only faith.
Through Scripture and story, we see that what God starts in the dark… He always finishes in the light.
