Nonprofit Overview

Causes: Christianity, Religion, Religious Printing & Publishing

Mission: The Voice of the Martyrs (VOM) is a missionary organization that serves persecuted Christians in the world’s most difficult and dangerous places to follow Christ. Richard and Sabina Wurmbrand founded VOM after being imprisoned for their Christian witness in Communist Romania. For more than 50 years, VOM has been dedicated to inspiring all believers to a biblical faith by encouraging their commitment to Christ and the fulfillment of his Great Commission no matter the cost.

THE VOICE OF THE MARTYRS CONTINUES THE 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 not only supplies food and shelter - they supply everything, and often risk their lives in dangerous countries that do not have religious freedom. The world is rife with injustice and religious persecution that never makes it to the media - VOM is one of the few organizations in the world, reporting on human rights violations world wide, and fights against this injustice.

I tried to cancel our subscriptions for 2 times due to moving happening at the end of June, they finally responded for my April 1st cancellation by email. Yet I continue to receive their issues today(June 8th), so I called in and only find out the issues are going to stop during July. The lady told me they print and packaging their material 7-8 weeks ahead. According to the math, our subscription should stop in June. I feel they are not responsible with their resources.

VOM is such an amazing organization. They do so much to help the Persecuted Church. Not only do they bring awareness of what our brothers and sisters in Christ are enduring they also help them by providing medical assistance, supplies, support, etc. I'm so thankful for all that VOM is and does. And I am honored and proud to be a volunteer with VOM.

I personally feel drawn to this Non-Profit. I read all the information I can on it, when sent to my home. I pray for all the people involved. Nobody should be ever left out from knowing God's word and God's love. And the horrible thought that some have to die for it is horrifying. We are so very blessed in the USA to have the many benefits of the freedoms we share. God Bless these people and all they stand for.

In God's Name

This organization works to reach and serve persecuted Christians in many nations. They are the hands, feet and heart of Jesus to Christian families, pastors and evangelists who would otherwise receive no aid. I was led of the Lord to sow into this ministry several years ago and am compelled to continue supporting this organization with joy. I know that the fruits and rewards are eternal in Christ Jesus.

This organization serves a niche filled by no other--persecuted Christians in other countries who are often forgotten by larger human rights organizations. Jesus tells us to remember those in prisons and this is the best way to do that. These are people who do not belong in prison at all. The Western Church finds it uncomfortable to think about what is going on in other parts of the world, but Christ told us to face it and deal with it. Many of us do not have the courage to do what these people are doing. The least we can do is to support them financially and through our prayers.

My conviction is to give aid to the children that have a parent in prison for being a Christian is one of the best places to invest in God's Kingdom. When a parent is imprisoned the society will treat their children and remaining parent in society as an outcast and refuse to help them in any way. The parent in prison is deeply concerned for there children out in society and this greatly adds to their afflictions because they can do nothing about it. So I recommend this VOM ministry to help the Children with parents in prison for being Christian. This is a true way to serve Christ Jesus directly, because He said "If you have done it unto one of the least of these you have done it unto me. " Matthew 25

I feel this is still a worthy Christian charity to give to depsite the actions of the executive director. Even if he was/is guilty it doesn't change that this charity helps many persecuted Christians around the world.

I am sad to see VOM has not received a higher rating. This is a truly unique charity as it focuses in on an unplatable and fairly unmarketable need - providing relief for people persecuted for their Christian faith throughout the world.

Many people may not realise just how many Christians are tortured, imprisoned and persecuted throughout the world on a daily basis. VOM works to be the 'voice' of these people and their families. It lobbies governments for prisoner release, provides financial aid to the victims of persecution, and to their families, and works tirelessly to raise awareness for the plight of persecuted Christians worldwide.

Perhaps its rather unsual name is off-putting. But it is the right name. Hundreds of Christian lives are martyred daily throughout the world.

Our family has supported VOM for many years. We rate their work highly, and will continue to support them no matter what their rating here. They are a real charity, making a real difference.
