Five decades of solidarity: From Richard Wurmbrand's challenge to today

Join Ed Brown as he traces the history of Stefanus Alliance back to 1967 and the powerful meeting with Pastor Richard Wurmbrand, a Romanian Lutheran pastor who endured more than thirteen years of imprisonment for his Christian faith under communist rule and was ransomed in part by Norwegian Christians. When some didn’t believe his story, he would lift his shirt and ask them, “Do you see the scars on my back, from the prison torture?” Wurmbrand's courage inspired Christians around the world to stand with those facing persecution and injustice. Decades later, it continues to guide Stefanus Alliance as we defend the freedom of religion or belief for all and support vulnerable churches worldwide. 🔴 In this video: • The origins of Stefanus Alliance in 1967 • Who Richard Wurmbrand was and why his story mattered • The challenges facing Christians behind the Iron Curtain • How the movement grew from only supporting persecuted Christians to defending freedom of religion or belief for all • Why this mission remains relevant today The story of Stefanus Alliance is a story of courage, conviction, and solidarity with people who suffer because of their beliefs. --- For millions of people today, it is not safe to believe.
