This past weekend I had the privilege of volunteering for the Kids of Courage (KOC) conference which ran concurrent with The Voice of the Martyrs conference on the Oklahoma Wesleyan University Campus here in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. It was such a great experience because I got to see the children’s excitement when they were being taught lessons about persecution and stories of courageous children from around the world.

This is our friend and partner in ministry, Bob Fu who is the President of the China Aid Association. I had the blessing of meeting Bob and talking to him for a few minutes. Take a listen and hear more about The China Aid Association.

PAKISTAN – On June 21, 16 Christians were abducted by Muslim extremists when they gathered to pray in Academy Town, Peshawar, Pakistan.

With various speakers from the Middle East, the attendees of VOM’s National Conference this past weekend had the opportunity to get a picture of what God’s work in that region looks like, literally.

INDONESIA – Recently, Muslims closed a church in Jatimula, Bekasi, West Java, Indonesia and blocked Christians from entering and holding services.

Yesterday I had the opportunity to sit with Dr. Tom White, the President of VOM and get his reflections on the conference and a little bit about his captivity in Cuba. Feel free to leave your comments for Tom.
