Prior to 1937

In one of the many mountain villages of Romania lived a godly old carpenter. He had a fervent love for the Jews and desired above all else that before he died he would be able to win a Jew for Christ. But there were no Jews in his village, he was ill and had no strength to travel in search of any Jew to whom he could testify. In a wonderful way, God would answer his prayer.

1937

For no apparent reason, a young Jewish man and his wife arrive in the village. There, for the first time in their lives, the embittered couple encounters a man who simply lavishes love and kindness upon them. For hours the old carpenter prays for these Jewish strangers and seeks, by all means possible, to lead them to the Savior. In a final effort to convert the young Jewish couple, the elderly carpenter gives them a New Testament.

1938

Love triumphs: the Jewish strangers, Richard and Sabina Wurmbrand, dedicate their lives to Jesus Christ and His service.
