Sabina: Tortured for Christ, the Nazi Years<\/em>,\u00a0a new film from Lifeway and Fathom Events coming to theaters November 8-10, shines a light on the story of persecution faced by Sabina and Richard Wurmbrand, co-founders of the nonprofit\u00a0The Voice of the Martyrs (VOM)<\/a>. Like Christians living in hostile areas around the world today, the Wurmbrands\u00a0chose to give up their comfort and safety in order to find a life that counts for eternity.<\/p>\n VOM is inviting Christians everywhere to be part of a Global Prayer Movement on November 7,\u00a0the International Day of Prayer for Persecuted Christians (IDOP). 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 \u201cPray for us!\u201d<\/p>\n Sabina\u00a0<\/em>conveys the realities of religious persecution and the cost of following Christ when faith is forbidden. Experiencing the Nazi occupation of Romania in 1940, the Wurmbrands were captured, imprisoned, and tortured. Rising above circumstances, the couple chose to view their persecutors not as enemies but as an opportunity for mission \u2014 to show the love and forgiveness displayed by the Gospel.<\/p>\n Channeling their passion to\u00a0helping fellow believers who found themselves giving their all for Christ, the Wurmbrands co-founded\u00a0VOM<\/a>,<\/a>\u00a0an interdenominational missions organization that today continues to proudly serve persecuted Christians around the world.<\/p>\n To equip churches to pray, VOM is offering free resources, including\u00a0<\/em>Finding Life<\/em>,<\/a> a short video sharing one chapter from the Wurmbrands\u2019 story, guided prayer slides, church bulletin inserts, sermon outlines, questions for reflections and discussion, a YouVersion reading plan, and sheet music to the hymn \u201cIt Is Well.\u201d<\/p>\n For more information about the free resources for IDOP visit persecution.com\/idop<\/a>.<\/p>\n Tickets for the theatrical showing of Sabina<\/em> are available for purchase. Individual ticket purchasers may also claim a free copy of Wurmbrand: Tortured for Christ, The Complete Story<\/em>, which provides a more in-depth look into the Wurmbrands\u2019 story.
