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.
