Summary

Last week we began a look back on some of the most moving moments on The Voice of the Martyrs Radio in 2024. This week, we continue to remember:

A Central Asian pastor, Brother Silas, tells how quickly new believers in Jesus there expect persecution.
Dr. David Kasali, founder and president of Congo Initiative, on making disciples in the Democratic Republic of the Congo as churches are targeted by Islamists and terrorist groups.
As conflict in the Middle East unfolded this year, Ben Barrett, who served as a leader in VOM’s ministry in Israel, including Gaza and the West Bank, was reminded that our brothers and sisters there are people God has called us to serve.
Brother Joshua, a pastor in Cuba, shares the price he and his family pay to share the gospel and serve the church even in the face of risks.
Brother David, whose father is a pastor in Cuba, knew from a young age there was a price to pay for following Christ.
Pastor “AZ,” from Kazakhstan, says the church there grew fastest during a wave of intense persecution.
Sister Sara grew up in a Muslim family in Central Asia. She shares how God drew her to stories about Jesus then called her to make a decision to follow him.
Hana shares thoughts about being reunited with her father, a pastor imprisoned in Eritrea for the past 20 years.
Shino and Shania, ethnic Somalis and devout Muslims, came to faith in Christ after Shania had a dream. They became bold witnesses for Christ.
