Please join us Saturday, October 4, for The Voice of the Martyrs’ “I Commit” Regional Conference. Many Christians around the world today are persecuted because of their faith in Christ, yet through their lives and words they continue to proclaim, “I Commit” to serve the Lord, to stand faithful and to share the gospel with others. Come and be encouraged by persecuted believers’ testimonies of courage and faith, hear how God has worked in their lives and learn what God’s Word teaches us about persecution and commitment.
The conference will feature the following speakers:
“Sarah” Liu lived a life of faith in her homeland of China. Her unapologetic Christian beliefs ultimately led to her arrest, torture and imprisonment for six years. Reflecting on her experiences during that time, she says, “I thought of Christ being beaten on the way to the cross. He suffered for me, and in a small way I shared in that suffering for him. It gave me courage to survive my time in prison.” Her story is told in the video Sarah’s Trail of Blood.
While growing up in Syria, “Brother John” heard the call to prayer shouted out from minarets across his country of 24 million people every day. It was a continual reminder of how many people needed to know the truth. Today, through ongoing ministry in war-torn Syria, “Brother John” sees God working in awesome ways to bring many Arab people to a true saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
Guest Speakers from various restricted nations.
Matt Rose has been on staff with The Voice of the Martyrs since 1998. He has met with and served our persecuted brothers and sisters in China, Sudan, Pakistan, Indonesia, Vietnam, India, Laos, Bangladesh, and other nations.
