MISSION OF THE MONTH FOR MARCH

VOICE OF THE MARTYRS

Christian persecution and martyrdom is a little talked about atrocity happening

throughout the world today. Christians suffer torture, death and persecution around the

world.

Voice of the Martyrs (VOM) is a ministry that serves persecuted Christians in over

60 restricted or hostile nations around the globe including Iran, Syria, North Korea and

parts of Africa and Asia. VOM provides basic physical assistance like food, shelter and

spiritual support for families impoverished by abuse because of their faith in Jesus Christ

During the Month of March, please consider a financial gift to assist our brothers

and sisters and those serving them around the globes who are suffering for their faith in

the name of Jesus.
