The Voice of the Martyrs on Oneplace.com

For more than 50 years, The Voice of the Martyrs has been standing with persecuted Christians around the world. The Voice of the Martyrs is a nonprofit, interdenominational Christian missions organization dedicated to serving our persecuted family worldwide through practical and spiritual assistance and leading other members of the body of Christ into fellowship with them. VOM was founded in 1967 by Pastor Richard Wurmbrand, who was imprisoned for 14 years in Communist Romania for his faith in Christ; his wife, Sabina, was imprisoned three years. In 1965 they were ransomed out of Romania, and soon thereafter they established the global network of missions of which VOM is a part. The Wurmbrands based these missions on Hebrews 13:3, which instructs us to Remember the prisoners as if chained with themthose who are mistreatedsince you yourselves are in the body also. The Voice of the Martyrs continues this mission around the world today through the following purposes: 1. To encourage and empower Christians to fulfill the Great Commission in areas of the world where they are persecuted for sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ. 2. To provide practical relief and spiritual support to the families of Christian martyrs. 3. To equip persecuted Christians to love and win to Christ those who are opposed to the gospel in their part of the world. 4. To undertake projects of encouragement, helping believers rebuild their lives and Christian witness in countries where they have formerly suffered oppression. 5. To promote the fellowship of all believers by informing the world of the faith and courage of persecuted Christians, thereby inspiring believers to a deeper level of commitment to Christ and involvement in His Great Commission. VOM Radio is a weekly, half-hour program where VOM’s Todd Nettleton interviews courageous Christians who serve and live in countries and communities where the Gospel is violently opposed. These brave believers share their stories with joy and tears, conviction and compassion as they tell how the Gospel changes lives and how Christians faithfully and joyfully serve Christ, in spite of hardships and persecution.
