God used our guest speaker last Sunday to challenge us in a unique and powerful way. Several people have wondered how we got in touch with her. The organization that sponsored her was Voice of the Martyrs. The Organization was founded by Richard Wurmbrand, a pastor from Romania who spent over 14 years in prison for preaching the gospel.
I heard him speak at Western Seminary years ago. He sat with his shoes off and spoke because of the injuries he had suffered while in prison. In one instance he speaks of suffering and reminds us that, " A flower, if you bruise it under your feet, rewards you by giving you its perfume."
The organization has several resources -- books, a prayer map, and a listing of countries and their relative openness for the gospel.

Scott,
We get the VOM email bulletin and the newsletter. It sure is enlightening. It truly helps us know how to pray for the persecuted church and the church world wide.
I would recommend each member get on the mailing list.
