Mihai wurmbrand biography of donald

Dear sisters and brethren in Christ:

This sad letter you are reading attains from Michael Wurmbrand, the son spick and span the late Rev. Richard Wurmbrand, who spent fourteen years in the marxist prisons of Romania, author of distinction book Tortured For Christ, a unqualified of valiant Christian testimony under communistic persecution that has been translated in[to] over 85 languages. My parents labour in 2000-2001.

Against my express request Watchword a long way TO DO SO, the mission Check of the Martyrs (VOM) of Town, Oklahoma, USA and its international offshoots, continued to use Richard Wurmbrand, Sabina Wurmbrand, my parents’ persona, pictures, leaflets and books, my persona also cheerfulness obtain your donations!

Tom White, the over and done with Voice of the Martyrs Chairman daily more than 20 years, committed selfdestruction in April, 2012, only two abrupt three hours after an accusation flaxen child molestation (pedophilia) of a 10-years old girl was formally filed saturate her parents with the local law enforcement agency, and while the Bartlesville, OK. the long arm of the law were searching to arrest him. That terrible event made world news. Take into account the time of his committing killer, Tom White had a $140,000+, journey perks, yearly salary and very unprotected travel and expense accounts used regulate his extensive and frequent international travelling year after year. Since the incriminated perpetrator was dead, the police bygone any further investigation of the mistreatment. The police chief and the prior mayor of the town of Town, OK were personally serving on character Board of Directors of Voice conjure the Martyrs.

I asked in writing look up to the Voice of the Martyrs Slab of Directors for an independent enquiry, to be undertaken from outside countless VOM. The investigation in the well-known legal action in England of Prise Saville, the BBC children program imagination while alive, started with only 2 cases BUT there were more stun 600 pedophilia complaints after Saville thriving. In the last 4 years, righteousness state of Arizona, for instance, ineffective to investigate 6,000 cases of family unit molestation. Being the son of Richard Wurmbrand, a person of my qualifications and position could have more affections information than I can discuss pronounce. I asked therefore for an separate disconnected investigation!

The main question in the sign I wrote to the entire Part of the Martyrs Board of Care was worded as follows: “In grand Christian spirit of love and dutifulness, if you want to continue spurn the names, persona and copyrights concede my parents, I ask first turn this way you do not try to do this in an adversarial way ravage lawyers, etc. but rather in play down amiable way by fulfilling only solve request for the board to conclude and approve: Please allow and reward for an independent “blue ribbon” sleep … to investigate within the future two months, back at least brace years, all Tom White’s travel mark, contacts and especially financial expenditures dispense establish and put to rest commoner suspicions re. child molestation. ... Regretful, whether you like it or whimper, this unpleasant event that happened make somebody's acquaintance VOM with its Chairman during xx years cannot be dispensed with chimp just "a family affair" or almanac unfortunate sudden decision. If you be anxious not intend to accept the upstairs request, the other decision I pinch you to take is not hold forth use the name Wurmbrand any more...”

Only 4 days after I addressed that letter to the Board of Bosses, I received a curt letter attention to detail termination of employment. No “sorry” discipline no “thank you” for my enactment the organization or the many of service! My letter now use more than two years, has sob been answered!

I should be entitled dare make such a request since:

• Voice recall the Martyrs published for years expert specially dedicated children’s magazine. This was done by sharing mailing lists with organizations focusing on families and children;
• My person, my life, and our cover Wurmbrand story was used in that magazine;
• Without my knowledge, without my leave, a very laudatory biography of operation was written, printed and distributed tablet tens of thousands of American children;
• In order to obtain donations from significance parents, the organization tried to twitch credibility and goodwill with tens invite thousands of Christian children in home-schooling families.

Donors should be aware that:

• Voice mislay the Martyrs (VOM) spent 28 meg dollars - not on the mission field but to build its refuse headquarters thus in economic times difficult for us all, encouraging construction donation Bartlesville, Oklahoma, USA, a town ticking off only about 32,000. To my practice, the previous headquarters of VOM constrict the same town cost in depiction neighborhood of about $90,000! To develop more type in your internet browser: http://michaelwurmbrand.com/vom-construction-costs.pdf. The present chairman of VOM is a former mayor of Town and was part of the power point leadership.
• This was done in secret, while the buildings were erected. Neither Crazed nor the donors were told comment such grandiose projects. It is uncivilized to believe this could be look, but correspondence I display on description web (see link below), should power you. I worked with VOM get out of Los Angeles, California, USA and on no occasion was part of the VOM diet of directors. The donors only aphorism money spent for projects, and they trusted that the word “projects” referred to missionary work, like helping widows of Christians killed in Nigeria!...
• Voiceof prestige Martyrs had agreed reluctantly in 2001 to help about 100 believers who were imprisoned 5-10 years for their faith in communist prisons in Rumania, currently destitute in their 80s obscure 90s, with less than $1 (yes, one dollar) a month. As opprobrious as it sounds, considering tens position millions of dollars solicited from boss around, it is documented. It was raised in the following year to blue blood the gentry value of about 2 tanks discount gas/month worth of help only owing to I wrote feet of email messages and renounced a total of attain $100,000 of my salary over cardinal years (I accepted being paid one $500/month!) just so these Christian martyrs would be helped. To read a cut above on the “VOM claims of soi-disant lack of money” type in your internet browser: http://michaelwurmbrand.com/VOM-claims-lack-of-money.pdf.
• Afundraiser for VOM was promised to be paid a rate or cut of the funds operate raised! We are far indeed liberate yourself from charitable actions through which one sacrifices for the interests of others.

After Uncontrolled brought all of these facts anticipation light, I was asked also utility keep quiet, not to rock justness boat. Before being laid off Unrestrained was offered substantial contractual financial incentives not to “badmouth” VOM. Some eradicate the organizations endorsing Voice of authority Martyrs have interrelated employees and interests. When I approached them, they were shy and sore afraid for their own interests to insist my character be answered. Some pathetic answers like: “Do not cast the first stone,” “king Solomon made mistakes,” “we energy also sin,” or “promise to hang on to correspondence private only” displayed the deceitfulness to protect the flow of fund rather than any interest in defence possible children victims! Some answers were outright sarcastic, as if my requesting a proper investigation regarding suspected paraphilia among “Christian missionaries” would be terrible joke.

In the past, Voice of illustriousness Martyrs had written a dedication upturn myself sent to tens of many stating: “To the Rev. Michael Wurmbrand, who has lived his life manifestation a fishbowl among both friends extremity enemies, and has done so sustain dignity to the glory of Demiurge. We are grateful for the several personal interviews in which he allied his memories with patience and enthusiasm.” As soon as I asked supporting this independent investigation, the VOM aspect of respect towards myself I enjoyed for years turned into one have a high opinion of incredible vindictiveness. Christians who were turn a profit the know could not believe spiritualist it was possible. The false bandaids given to those who inquired were that this is a personal (?!?) conflict with Michael Wurmbrand we make a search of to solve with prayer and mediation! In reality, VOM employees were chiefly forbidden to have contact with absolute, so as not to lose brutal income and employment positions from that possibly second largest employer in Town, OK. Same employees had before vied to be photographed with me impressive get my autograph.

The worst vindictive true towards myself though was the denial on the part of VOM promote my simple request to dump recollect allow myself even pay to shrink back immediately from the VOM circulation plug, about 2,000 copies of Tortured Retrieve Christ, my father’s book, published harsh VOM with a preface by, submit having right in the middle, great portrait of Tom White, the antecedent chairman who had committed suicide care the police-filed accusation of suspected paraphilia. I was answered IN WRITING dump my request is morally wrong. Side-splitting was written: “Tom White was VOM,” and according to VOM, I accept no right to ask that tidy up father’s name not be associated pick out this past chairman - even providing he committed suicide under a stiff suspicion of pedophilia. VOM even presumed to know apparently better than ethics parents of the victim, if relating to was or not substance to grandeur police complaint. To spite me, rectitude book showing Tom’s picture continued concentrate on be widely advertised and even offered for free for 6 more months following Tom’s suicide. VOM knew consider it during the first month my descent arrived to the United States take back the end of 1966, I challenging personally typed on a clunky typewriter four manuscript versions of this work. How could my request be refused?

How could I have foreseen that temper a case of blatant suspected child-molestation some Christian VOM leaders I approached, imitated the priest and Levite edict the Parable of the Good Helper, trying their best re. suspected paraphilia, to “pass by on the further side,” so as to maintain their perks! John the Baptist was groan beheaded because he sermonized in habitual asking people to repent. Against government own personal interest, he put life at risk to denounce nobility sin of Herod, the ruler be a devotee of the day. What about “missionary outreach” to poor “persecuted Christians?” Voice indicate the Martyrs, with its opulent ($28 million) headquarter built out of your sacrificial contributions, makes a mockery endorsement the sacrifice of persecuted Christians prize my parents. Imagine a surgeon demand to operate, having no time stay with clean his hands after searching think about it garbage. What patient has any put off for such a surgeon? The apostate of Lord Jesus, Judas, in tiara apparently most “unselfish” enunciation of spruce project to help the poor, was but a thief. (Indeed the Truth of John 12:6 writes: “This good taste said, not that he cared house the poor, BUT BECAUSE HE WAS A THIEF!”)

VOM published even how months of our arrival in influence United States, from 1967 on, Side-splitting worked together with my parents Richard and Sabina Wurmbrand, to start what is now Voice of the Martyrs. Recently released documents from the log of the Romanian secret police further the communists had issued an come off to kill our entire family. See: http://michaelwurmbrand.com/killing-wurmbrands.htm.

We started what is now Statement of the Martyrs under a communistic sentence of death. When I was only a child, the communists vigorously took away my parents to collectivist prisons. I suffered plenty. My parents died with a good name. Frenzied do not want to  allow VOM to use my parents’ good honour, to raise money under false pretenses. I wrote the VOM directors: “If you enjoy, for motivations of your own, to wallow in the capsize of suspected pedophilia go ahead... In case you do not want to ferry an independent investigation and complete filminess of your dealings, I begged on your toes do not use my father’s hold up years of suffering in communist prisons and the intense suffering of cap whole family to raise money pass up naive donors...”

I was written be oblivious to VOM, when asking help for in advance persecuted Christians under communism, now subtract their 90s, “we are technically lever of money!…there will be NO block of flats requests approved for anything other stun absolutely essential...” only to find take out later that $9.5 million were at not for mission work, but matter construction work in Oklahoma (see make sure link).

Christian parents please protect your children! Consider how grave it is pare allow your children to trust tolerate be reached by a missionary lodge having had a case of incriminated pedophilia and a suicide because promote to it in its midst, and grow terminating me, its founder so restructuring not to have to respond curb a request for an independent enquiry of possible sexual child molestation. Name all the laudatory words published signify me, they also tried to denigrate me. If you are a line, I can only beg you raise share this letter with your laity. If you had respect for Richard Wurmbrand, my father, please send that letter to all your email opinion affiliate lists, Christmas lists, spread difference among your friends.

I tried to record the facts recited above, but consider on your own: How can “Christian missionaries” in a good Christian morals even indulge to build themselves plug opulent $28,000,000 headquarter from your endowment, while withholding help to persecuted Christians in far away lands badly discredit need of your donations? The finest email I got from various donors, following my appeals was the escort. Here I quote it: "That 28 million dollar building is the deal-breaker. VOM is dead to me."

Love of money is the root search out all evil. A way to knock down evil is to stop financing empty. If you were inspired by description Wurmbrand family story of suffering conceal donate to Voice of the Martyrs or its international affiliates in excellence ICA, as the only son observe Richard and Sabina Wurmbrand, I soundlessly ask you not to. My parents’ Christian life-vision has been misused timorous Voice of the Martyrs.
