TODAY
"Voice of The Martyrs"
(Testimony from Dr Reginald who was kidnapped by the Taliban)
Matthew 24: 31-46 & Hebrews 13: 1-3
Voice of the Martyrs exists to help, love and encourage persecuted Christians by providing Bibles, ministry resources, medical aid and practical assistance.
The ministry is inspired by Hebrews 13:3, “Remember the prisoners as if chained with them – those who are mistreated – since you yourselves are in the body also.”
They support Christians who are or have been persecuted for their faith and involvement in spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ in a hostile environment. They give their testimony a voice, informing and mobilising Christians in Australia to stand with their persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ.
They believe that the lives and testimony of persecuted Christians is a vital part of the fellowship of all believers and can challenge and strengthen the faith of God’s people everywhere.
