CHINA Special Report: “They Serve Christ”

In this special episode Cole Richards, VOM’s President and CEO, shares about a new special report issued by The Voice of the Martyrs about the increased persecution of Christians in the nation of China.

Cole will talk about what has changed in recent months in China and how Christians there are responding by continuing to serve Christ, regardless of what the communist government does or what pressure they face.

We’ll also discuss how this crackdown in China is affecting VOM’s work in the country, and what American Christians can learn from the way our Chinese brothers and sisters are responding to the challenges of persecution they face. Finally, as we always do on VOM Radio, we’ll talk about specific ways you can pray for our spiritual family in China.

Note: This is the first of five special episodes this week focusing in China, released in conjunction with a VOM Special Report about the increase in persecution on Christians in China this year.
