I have another question for you. If The Voice of the Martyrs were to offer a Christmas card through the ministry as another way to help support the persecuted church would that be something that you think you would buy?

Merry Christmas everyone! Okay, I know that technically it's a little bit early, but when you love Jesus and can't wait to celebrate His glorious birthday, you can't help but shout from the blogtops that it's the Christmas season. Which is exactly why I wanted to share with you that The Voice of the Martyrs has some Christmas specials going on.

Todd Nettleton appeared on Janet Parshall's America today to talk about Sunday's 10th International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church, the Bibles Unbound Program and the latest news happening to the persecuted church.

Friday we shared with you that Helen Berhane was released from prison after serving two years. VOM Canada's Glenn Penner weighs in on this issue on his blog. And I wanted to share with you what he knows about the situation. Here's what Glenn says...

A team from The Voice of the Martyrs recently spent some time in Romania, the home country of our founder, Pastor Richard Wurmbrand. This team was in Romania at a unique time; Romania’s television station was in the middle of hosting a contest to determine Romania’s top personalities through an opinion vote. Early in the voting, people were surprised to find the name “Richard Wurmbrand” in the top ten positions. On our team’s second day in the country, Pastor Wurmbrand occupied the number four slot.

This weeks VOM-USA prayer email newsletter had this job opening in it, in case you missed it.

This morning I was thinking about all the people that I work with at The Voice of the Martyrs, and even though I've never met any of them in person, I feel so blessed to be able to talk to them via the phone and in email.

Today I really want to share with you one of the greatest things The Voice of the Martyrs Canada is doing. They have added a monthly video report of persecution news that they are following, and it's excellent!

UPDATED 5:35 PM - I am very happy to let you know that Janet has posted a part of her interview with Todd, in her free section. So if you're interested in their interview, please click here.
