This paper summarizes the life of a 20th-century Transylvanian Reformed pastor who was born under Hungarian rule and lived under Romanian rule. He grew up as a war orphan and, after choosing to study theology, embarked on a career in the ministry. He spent the longest period of his ministry in Pankota, Arad County, but also served as an assistant pastor in Szalárd and Nagyszalonta, and as a deputy pastor in Bősháza prior to his retirement. Due to his religious activities, he was sentenced to 20 years in prison and forced labor, but was eventually released early thanks to a pardon. His accounts reveal that his love for God was the driving force behind his determined effort to share the Gospel with everyone. Based on what we can see from the surviving documents, it appears that he truly loved even his enemies. One of the most unique sources in this paper is Sándor Szilágyi's autobiography, in which he described his experiences in the years following his imprisonment. He hoped that this would be published just as his account of his years in prison had been, but this has not yet happened.
