Hear Ye, Hear Ye....Mark Your Calendars....

by VOM Staff

It's Friday and today I want to take the time to remind all of you dear readers about some of the great ministries that The Voice of the Martyrs engages in. To begin with, if you look over to your right, you will see the list of links on the side bar that go directly to other ministry pages of The Voice of the Martyrs.

Be sure to tune in tomorrow to Janet Parshall's America to hear Todd Nettleton talk about the latest news concerning Christians who are being persecuted for their faith in Christ.

In recent weeks I have been reading different books on persecution and came across what I consider important nuggets in the book, In God's Underground – Experiencing Overcoming Faith Amid the Horror of Communist Prisons written by Richard Wurmbrand. The book details his experiences and dialogue with other prisoners. What I find striking is their unwavering faith and love for God despite the torture.

When I was going through my mail, after getting home from Israel, I found my most recent VOM magazine from June 2007 and the following line really caught my attention.

Christians in Pakistan are showing resilience despite persecution from their families because of their belief in Jesus Christ.

When you receive our newsletter each month (and if you are not receiving it you should sign up immediately!), we hope that are moved by the stories of our brothers and sisters in restricted nations. We hope you are encouraged in your own faith, and challenged to pray for these who live out their faith each day under threat of harassment and persecution.

A few days ago I told you about how Todd Nettleton appeared on Janet Parshall's America to talk about the persecuted church.
