When Richard and Sabina Wurmbrand began their marriage, they enjoyed a life of comfort. Though they were both of Jewish decent, they chose to forego religion and instead opted for an atheistic worldview. Early in their marriage, however, Richard began to study Christianity and soon converted. Sabina followed suit. About this time, Communism was gaining power and World War II was beginning. The Romanian couple chose to go undercover for Christ. They shared the gospel, even with the enemy, and rescued children from Nazi capture. Eventually, the Romanian government captured Richard, and he wasn’t able to reunite with his wife for a whole decade. Through it all, the couple and their young son soldiered on in love and strength without losing faith in their God.
