What VOM Persecution Bloggers Are Saying

I was reading through some of our blogging team and found a few posts that I think you will definitely enjoy.  This first post is from Being in the Word and he writes...

You can smuggle bibles...Many years ago Richard Wurmbrand smuggled Bibles into Romania while it was controlled by Russia.  This was illegal, but pastor Wurmbrand knew that the Bibles were needed by the underground church of Romania, so getting them into their hands was important to the work of Christ.  Sometimes God’s commands will override what our governments are telling to do or not to do.

Wurmbrand was the one, I believe, who would walk backwards through the snow at night with his pack of Bibles.  That way, when the authorities discovered his footprints, they would suppose that he had left the country rather than having just come into it.

Now you can become a Bible smuggler, through a program of Voice of the Martyrs using the international mail system.  This was announced on the back page of their excellent newsletter in the November, 2005 issue.

Christians in other nations are quietly collecting a list of addresses in their countries so that they can reach their neighbors for Christ.  Those in our country who wish to mail five or more Bibles or New Testaments per month to people in a Bible-starved country will receive those books, plus the addresses, prepaid postage and instructions for mailing them.  I understand that it will also be possible to track their delivery online, and also to receive notice of their impact..

The program goes into effect in early 2006.  If you should like to participate, you really need to be receiving the Voice of the Martyrs free monthly newsletter. This will keep you aware of any further details.  Request it at www.persecution.com or email [email protected]

Great job Roy!

Another blogger, Epangelical has written about the International Religious Freedom Report.  He gives more detail than I did.

Footsteps of Love has written about International Day of Prayer Week which was this week!

Keep up the great work everyone!
