The Voice of the Martyrs has supported persecuted believers in China for more than 30 years. VOM has numerous projects assisting believers in China some of which are, providing emergency aid to the families of imprisoned believers and supplying Mandarin Bibles to the Chinese church.

Ask God to encourage those remaining in prison and pray their testimonies will lead others to Christ.

Pray also that these believers are released.
