This Christmas Eve :)

Richard Wormbrand was born in 1909 to a Jewish family in Bucherest. He converted to Christianity in 1939 and eventually became a Lutheran minister, although he worked with many of Christians faith in many different denominations.

He was tortured for his faith and became famous for standing up at a meeting of Christian leaders and” denouncing government control of the churche”s. He was also famous for saying “Christianity and communism are incompatible.” He also helped to start the Voice of Martyers.

But Richard also said something that truly applies to our every day lives, “More souls have been won for Christ by preachers that did what little they could than by renowned evangelists”

This Christmas Eve, as we celebrate the Birth of Jesus Christ, God’s Great Gift to us :), we can also give to others. A warm meal, a toy, a plate of cookies, help in this storm that is coming…

As Richard said, sometimes more souls are “won for Christ” by simple acts of kindness and love 🙂

Merry Christmas Eve 🙂
