The Voice of the Martyrs - LISTEN: Kidnapped by terrorists – "It's my last day on this earth."

Kidnapped by terrorists and interrogated by police, he “never felt alone.”

As a former Muslim who had come to know Christ, Job felt a passion to tell others about Jesus. He soon became involved in church ministry, including media ministry. Despite the risk, he boldly put his own face and testimony online. Some Muslims who heard his testimony wanted to learn more about Jesus, but others saw him as a traitor and apostate. While walking to church one day, a group of men forced a hood over his head and shoved him into a car. Job believed he would be killed. Though he was at peace with losing his own life, he was concerned about his wife and young children who would be left behind. Thankfully, the terrorists released Job, but his trials were not over. When he reported the kidnapping to local police, he was treated as a criminal instead of a victim. He was interrogated repeatedly about why he had left Islam to become a Christian. Job, however, took advantage of the opportunity to share the gospel message in the police station, with 20 officers listening! Job said he “never felt alone” while kidnapped by terrorists and interrogated by police officers. Hear him tell his amazing story in this episode of VOM Radio!

The Voice of the Martyrs - FIGHTING FEAR: "Lord, don't let them see me shake."

“Lord, don’t let them see me shake.”

James was on his way to deliver Christian materials in a Middle Eastern country when his car’s engine stopped running. He coasted off the road to a spot that seemed less visible, knowing that to be caught with a car full of Christian materials could lead to severe persecution. As he sat in his car beside the road, James knew he needed divine help. He prayed that God would be his “Great Mechanic” in that moment. At the same time, however, he said he knew that as Christians we cannot let fear prevent us from doing the work to which God has called us. Hear how God answered James’s prayer, prompting heartfelt worship. LISTEN TO VOM RADIO Listen Online Listen via Podcast Apps
