How do you practise your faith in a communist country? The secret police are constantly watching you, infiltrating your members and, trying to block the Gospel being shared.
Growing up in Communist Czechoslovakia ,Petr, a founding member for Voice of the Martyrs (VOM) found that though church was ‘allowed’ it was monitored, had constant surveillance and Infiltrated spies. The most hazardous event for Petr, was when he visited Sudan to interview and document the survival of the church. Prior to leaving for home, Petr was arrested for treason and espionage, and other charges. Surrounded by Islamic prisoners, he suffered physical and emotional abuse. Thirteen long months, most of them in solitary, was difficult, unable to contact family as well as a gag on speaking out loud!
Miraculously, after a few months in solitary, he was allowed a Bible to read! He realised God was preparing him for something. What happened? Why did they release him? Petr shares more during this testimony.
His motto? Words from Richard Wurmbrand, “to do the work of God is dangerous, but not to do the work of God is more dangerous.” Petr counts it a privilege to the ‘voice of the voiceless’.
