"BE FAITHFUL TO THE END"

Jesus said, "No man can be my disciple unless he denies himself, takes up his cross, and follows me." This book contains the testimonies of men and women behind "the iron curtain," who experienced for themselves the full demands of Christ's words. It is one thing to know about imprisonments and executions, and quite another to read personal accounts of saints who suffered severe persecution. For most of us, numbers are little more than figures on a page. But personal accounts paint vivid pictures. Upon reading each one's experience, the reality of what they faced touches your heart. These dear folk "know the fellowship of Christ's sufferings," of which we know so little in America. One could easily be blown away by the atrocities our fellow believers endured. But when you read their words, you realize that their circumstances could not extinguish the comfort and joy God gives. They were overwhelmed with the greatness of God, not the hatred of men. Even in prison, a rich table of blessing was set before them. They knew God loved them, and that He had everything under control. As you learn about the faithful believers in Russia, you will learn about a faithful God. Let this book motivate you to be faithful to the end.

Ministry in treachery.

Georgi Vins gave all to minister the Gospel and ultimately found his place of ministry to be the Gulag. Under severe persecution he delivered the Gospel of Jesus to those that were able to receive it due to their stress and situations in prison. He did it with great zeal and determination,never doubting the Lord Jesus or his need to preach. Like Paul, it seems that Mr. Vins cried " woe to me if I do not preach the gospel of my Saviour".Georgi Vins should inspire each of us to do all we can wherever we are. Taking time to lick wounds and feel self pity simply take away from our mission of preaching the Gospel to everyone everywhere. Enjoy this book and allow it to fuel your personal witness wherever you are in life.
