I hope so because here is an excellent one!
Plunge with me into the middle of a tremendously dangerous mission field…armed solely with your desire to serve the Lord and serve Christians persecuted for their faith.
On our trip we will team up with The Voice of the Martyrs; a Christian organization serving the persecuted Church all around the world. They provide relief, spiritual support and encourage the families of Christian martyrs.
The mission of “The Voice of the Martyrs” is to serve those Christians who choose to stay and share the gospel in hostile situations. They know the risks, but they wisely count the cost when they pick up their cross (Luke 14:27-28).* James E. Dau, VOM President
Last week, while reading through VOM’s article, Letters Matter*, I realized my family, as well as yours, can easily jump on board this ministry. How? Simply by writing letters to Christians, around the world imprisoned for their faith.
We can write loving, supportive letters to those who suffer horribly for their faith from the comfort of our kitchen table.
As I read the article my excitement grew learning how uncomplicated VOM makes this activity…
“VOM equips believers to write letters to imprisoned Christians in two ways. Our online tool at www.prisoneralert.com allows readers to compose letters online using pre-translated phrases and Bible verses. We also offer Prisoner Letter Writing Kits that include prisoner profiles and self-mailer stationery that allows readers to use pen and ink to write to prisoners around the world.”
All the tools are here so we can become missionaries to the missionaries! In turn our children will learn invaluable lessons of suffering for faith, and what life is like for Christians around our globe.
Along with writing letters, VOM’s website has many other ways for your family to get involved caring for suffering Christians around the world.
Are you ready to jump into this mission field with The M.O.M Initiative, VOM and my family? I pray so! Let us know how you reach out and minister!
For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:18
Praising Him through my pen,
