Virginia Prodan,  "Saving My Assassin"

Virginia Prodan is an international human rights attorney and leading voice against Christian persecution. She displayed courage and bravery as a young Christian attorney in Communist Romania—her beloved homeland from which she has been exiled since 1988. Prodan has spent her career fighting for justice and feels it is her divine calling to defend fellow followers of Jesus against unjust persecution. Prodan tells her powerful story in her bestselling memoir, Saving My Assassin.

In a recent article, Prodan voiced her concern about the growing hostility we are seeing in here in America—like what we saw displayed in mid-January in Minnesota. “Christian persecution is already here in America. Our nation is becoming a dangerous place for faithful believers to live. We must stand up now for the persecuted—not only as individuals but as a united front for our brothers and sisters around the world. Policymakers, churches, and ordinary citizens have a moral responsibility to ensure our nation remains a beacon of hope and freedom for all, especially the vulnerable persecuted for their faith.” You can read the full Washington Stand article here.
