Summary
This week we continue looking back on some of the most impactful testimonies shared with us this year on VOM Radio. We'll hear how God reached into the home of the police chief in a Southeast Asian village—even as the police chief was fighting against the gospel.
We'll hear from former prisoner Bob Fu what it means to a prisoner when he or she knows that Christians are praying for them. Listen to learn how God used VOM to help save the life of an evangelist in Bangladesh after he was brutally attacked. Samuel will tell us about the risks of following Christ in Pakistan.
We'll hear from three different people impacted by a 2007 attack in Turkey that took the lives of three Christians. Brother Gokhan was a friend of those killed; Tim is now the pastor of the church the three men attended; and Semse Aydin is the widow of one of the martyred believers.
Then we'll hear from three guests who told us about the church in Iran—the fastest growing church in the world. Dr. Sasan will share how Iranian Christians find joy in persecution. Nazanin works in a call center for one of VOM's media partners, witnessing to and discipling Iranian believers by phone. Dr. Mike Ansari will tell us about a special effort to get Bibles digitally into Iran.
Finally, Maryam and Marziyeh will share about the miracle of finding God's Word inside the notorious Evin Prison in Tehran. You'll be inspired and challenged as we look back on some of the amazing stories God allowed us to share on VOM Radio in 2016.
