VOM’s Extreme Devotion Testimonies Encouraging Sudanese Church (AUDIO)

Mizzima News is reporting today that Burma has been put on the United States State Department list as a country of particular concern, since the Burmese government has still failed to address religious freedom inside the country. Burma has been on the list every year since it began in 1999 except for the year 2007.

The good news that I see in this story is at least the district officials destroyed the church building without the Christians inside of it. However, these dear ones still need our prayers for strength and grace as they have been forced to move.

Earlier today when Todd Nettleton joined Janet Parshall to talk about the persecuted church, Todd mentioned that the book Extreme Devotion is being translated and read on the radio in the Sudan. And The Voice of the Martyrs is doing this because we are trying to build up the suffering church in the Sudan because of all the genocide. The following devotion is from our popular book Extreme Devotion, and today it happens to be on the Sudan. Get your copy of the book here.

Janet Parshall is hosting Todd Nettleton of The Voice of the Martyrs today during her third hour of broadcasting. Todd and Janet will discuss persecuted Christians in Iran, Pakistan and Turkey. And Janet would love to take your calls at 1-800-343-9282!

Recently I have had the opportunity to work with children at my church and something that has always personally amazed me is how much children care about other people who are hurting, if you actually share with them what others are going through.

One of the cool things about the Internet is that ministries like The Voice of the Martyrs are now involved on Facebook and Twitter. Today I happy to let you all know that The Voice of the Martyrs now has our Prisoner Alert application ready and working on Facebook. So if you are on Facebook, click this link to write prisoners through your Facebook account. And please tell your friends to join The Voice of the Martyrs cause in Facebook.

The Bartlesville-based Voice of the Martyrs’ mission, simply stated, is to do whatever it takes to assist persecuted Christians throughout the world.That could mean anything from smuggling Christian literature, to buying a horse for a minister in mountainous environs to helping set up broadcast opportunities, David Brackemyre explained during the Bartlesville Rotary Club’s afternoon luncheon Monday.Brackemyre, who is the director of the Voice Ministry, spoke and answered questions during a 25-minute period at the event, held in the Bartlesville Community Center.The Voice of the Martyrs headquarters, located near the Tri-County Technology Center in east Bartlesville, will be fully operational next year, Brackemyre said.Some of the project already is done, but the VOM operation currently is housed in various offices or warehouses in Bartlesville.The VOM headquarters are located in Bartlesville, due to the decision of former director Tom White — whose father was an engineer at Phillips Petroleum Co.
