VOM's Todd Nettleton was back yesterday for a second hour on The Eric Metaxas Show, aired nationally on Salem Radio. While Monday's interview focused on the history of VOM and the incredible testimony of VOM founders Richard and Sabina Wurmbrand, the time yesterday was devoted to current cases of persecution, and specific ways that VOM is responding to help and encourage our persecuted family.

VOM's Todd Nettleton was a guest yesterday on The Eric Metaxas Show, which airs nationally on Salem Radio.

The story of Wang Ming-dao, one of twentieth century’s most famous Chinese Christians who suffered for his faith, is full of powerful victories and devastating defeats. He was a contemporary of John Sung and Watchman Nee, and had an outstanding ministry as a pastor and evangelist. He developed his theology midst strong resistance, persecution, and suffering. He wrote a series of sermons from which an elementary theology of persecution emerges.
