Summary

"Are you willing to go to jail for three years in order to keep working with us on this project?" It is an intimidating question, but those who secretly deliver Bibles to China's Christians know that it is a very real risk. "Brother Joel" is one of VOM's Bible distribution partners, helping deliver Bibles into every province of China. Every single year he asks each one of his workers that question: are you ready to go to jail to keep giving away Bibles? Listen in this week to learn about Joel's work and how his workers answer that question. They aren't worried about what their government says or does; they worry instead about what the Bible says and about reaching China for Christ. You'll be encouraged and challenged as you hear what God is doing in China this week on The Voice of the Martyrs Radio.
