The North Korean government has built a counterfeit religion to control it s people, a mirror image of Christianity that features their own trinity, their own meeting halls, their own sacred writings and even their own hymns to their god -- Kim Il Sung. Following a different deity, like Jesus Christ, is a treasonous act deserving of death.

A web site went live this week that represents a significant new endeavor for The Voice of the Martyrs in answering our call to be a voice for our persecuted brothers and sisters around the world.

This week we have a little bit longer podcast that you'll want to tune in for. Learn the latest prayer requests from David and then hear some inspiring comments regarding the persecuted church, fear and hope. What is stronger fear or hope?

I have to tell you that I just got done finishing listening to last Friday's Persecution Podcast and I really want to encourage you to take the time to listen to it. After you hear this past weeks prayer requests, which you can still pray for, you're going to be challenged as the VOM speaker discusses an influential person in his life named John and tells a story about Don, and 80 year old trumpet player.

This weeks Persecution Podcast is now live for your listening pleasure and edification.

Every Friday we post our weekly Persecution Podcast, and this past Friday our show dealt with important prayer requests from China, Nigeria, Kenya and Central Asia. If you missed this short podcast, please click here and listen. The show is only about 6 minutes.

We have now posted this weeks Persecution Podcast #134 which deals with specific prayer requests for those in North Africa, Laos, Kazakhstan and Sierra Leone.

Last Friday, late in the afternoon, we posted our latest Persecution Podcast. This is about a 35 minute episode and features some special things besides our normal prayer requests.

This is a Persecution Podcast that you must hear because at the end of the show you will hear correspondence from Sabina Wurmbrand as shared by a VOM worker.
