Voice of the Martyrs Blogosphere Program

      I just joined the Voice of the Martyrs (VOM) Blogosphere Program! It's just one more thing I can do to help those that are persecuted for believing in Christ. This program is meant to get the word out to as many people as possible about the persecuted church. I strongly believe that we as Christians need to bear our brothers' burdens. Many in other countries are suffering because they believe in Christ. It's a far stretch for us Americans to comprehend right now, but I do believe a day is coming when we too will know of persecution where our lives will be offered up as an ultimate sacrifice for confessing Jesus as Lord of all.

     The most important thing we can do is pray. Pray (along with Jesus who interceeds for us night and day) that the faith of those suffering persecution will not fail (Lk. 22:32).

     Next we can offer our money and resources to those in need. Many new converts in countries hostile to the Gospel end up losing everything. They need to start all over again. They are disowned by their families and ostracized from their communities and villages. Bibles, clothes and food are only some of the necessities these dear Christians need. Voice of the Martyrs has been faithfully meeting these needs. If you would like to help by sending them a monetary gift just click the VOM link in the previous sentence.

     Yet another way to help is to write to those imprisoned for believing in Jesus and preaching the Gospel to all that are lost. VOM has a site where you can translate your English letter into the language of the prisoner of your choosing. You simply print out the letter and send it to the address where that prisoner is being held. You can click here for more information.

     Lastly, joining the blogosphere program can bring much needed attention to these often forgotten people and their struggles. I hope you will join me to do as much as you can right where you are for the body of Christ.
