The Voice of the Martyrs
Three women standing together
Stand with Persecuted Christians Like Narine
Narine, 20, is an Iranian Christian in fear for her own safety. Her father, a pastor, is currently serving a 10-year prison sentence for leading a house church in Iran. The Iranian government views such Christian fellowships as “enemy groups” and as threats to national security.

“She’s quite stressed and alone,” said a front-line worker after he met with Narine in a neighboring country. “She’s worried about both her father and her mother because her mother was also arrested and is awaiting sentencing for the same thing as her father — being involved in a home church.”

You can stand with Narine and other persecuted Christians by giving to VOM’s Global Ministry. Your support will help strengthen and serve members of the body of Christ who are targeted, outcast, beaten or imprisoned for their faithful witness. Your gift will be used to

  • deliver material and spiritual assistance to those who have suffered for their faith
  • provide Bibles in hostile areas and restricted nations
  • equip front-line workers with tools and resources to advance God’s kingdom
  • share the stories of our persecuted Christian brothers and sisters around the world

Stand with Them
