“Stand firm, then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place.”
— Ephesians 6:14
Virginia Prodan has lived through what too many Americans still think is impossible. As a human rights attorney in Communist Romania, she was arrested, beaten, tortured, and nearly assassinated for defending Christians and sharing the gospel. On this episode of United Patriots Uprising, Virginia issues a sobering warning: the same patterns that crushed her homeland are already infecting the United States.
Through the grace of God, she faced down a regime-sent assassin—and won him to Christ. Now she’s fighting for the soul of her adopted country, calling on Americans to reject the lies of socialism before it’s too late.

“Socialism is already here. Don’t wait until you’re in prison to speak up.” — Virginia Prodan
The Lie of Socialism, the Slavery of Communism
“They promise justice, equality, and free healthcare. But what they deliver is misery, silence, and government worship.”
Virginia Prodan understands the progression well: socialism lays the groundwork through false promises—free education, tolerance, equality—and communism finishes the job by criminalizing dissent and crushing faith. Her story is a living testimony to where this leads: loss of property, freedom, voice, and even life.
She warns Americans not to be deceived by the pleasant-sounding slogans. “It all starts with fear and lies,” she says. “Then you wake up one day, and the government has become your god.”
Saving Her Assassin: A Miracle in a Romanian Law Office
“Only God could turn a regime killer into a brother in Christ.”

In one of the most gripping testimonies ever shared on the show, Virginia recounts the day a 6’10” assassin—sent directly by dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu—entered her office with a gun aimed at her head. She was 4’10”. Terrified but obedient, she heard God whisper, “Share the gospel.”
What happened next defies logic but affirms divine power: he listened. He lowered the gun. He surrendered his life to Jesus on the spot. Decades later, he reappeared in her office in Dallas—now a pastor, asking to write a chapter in her book Saving My Assassin.
The High Cost of Silence: Her Uncle’s Regret
“There is a time to speak. If you wait too long, you’ll lose the chance—and the country.”
Virginia shares the story of her uncle, a wealthy businessman who kept quiet when socialism began creeping into Romania. He believed it would blow over. Instead, he ended up in a psychiatric hospital for speaking out too late—and died in silence, full of regret.
This, she warns, is where too many Americans are today. “We say it can’t happen here,” she says, “but it’s already happening.”
“Stand firm, then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place.” — Ephesians 6:14
A Call to Courage, a Vision for Freedom
“God didn’t ask for my resume. He asked for my obedience.”
Since coming to America in 1988, Virginia has continued her mission—defending human rights, raising godly children, and equipping others through her ministry and podcast. She challenges believers to live their faith publicly, engage politically, and raise bold families that will stand for truth.
She reminds us: freedom doesn’t come from government. It comes from God. And God is calling this generation to rise up—not with fear, but with obedience, courage, and clarity.
