Ministry Watch to Name VOM Shining Light for 2007

Ministrywatch.com has recently announced that The Voice of the Martyrs will be featured on their 2007 “Shining Light ‘Top 30’ Exemplary Ministries” list. This makes the third consecutive year that VOM has been featured on this list, which is an honor Ministry Watch awards to few organizations.

Ministry Watch is a program of Wall Watchers, an organization dedicated to keeping Christian ministries accountable for their spending while at the same time helping donors to be wise stewards of their God-given resources.

The “Shining Light” list is published in response to requests that Ministry Watch identify the “best” ministries to donate to. While Ministry Watch still encourages individuals to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit when they donate, they have identified 30 organizations that are both transparent and responsible with their spending as well as bold in their stand as an evangelical Christian organization. The Voice of the Martyrs is proud to be included on this list for 2005, 2006 and now 2007.

Here is an excerpt from www.ministrywatch.com which details why the feature “Shining Lights”:

These ministries are called ‘Shining Lights’ because they are indeed models of letting their Christian light shine before men so that the Gospel may be proclaimed and God be glorified. Consequently, we are shining a figurative light on them so that donors may be aware of their good works and other ministries may learn from their examples.

Last March, MinistryWatch.com was featured on ABC’s 20/20 with John Stossel. The interview talked about financial transparency in ministries and brought public attention to the work of Ministry Watch.
