Summary
Join in as we begin a look back on some of the amazing testimonies God allowed VOM Radio to share this year:
- Brother Paul from Nigeria tells how he heard the Lord's voice telling him to get off the bus he was on. Moments after he obeyed, that bus was attacked by terrorists and he realized God had spared his life.
- Aaron Miller explains why some Christian leaders in Colombia would rather not be called pastor, and how church leaders in India are preparing for the increased persecution they're sure is coming.
- Ebrahim Firouzi shared from inside Iran, where he's still being held in internal exile. He told how prosecutors encouraged him to renounce his faith in Christ and go free—an offer Ebrahim refused.
- Joy Subasiguller shared about choosing to be grateful to God, even as she faced expulsion from Turkey, the nation where she'd lived for 10 years and where her children were born. VOM Radio host, Todd Nettleton, will also give an update on what has happened with Joy's case since our original broadcast.
- Finally, Will Hart, CEO of Iris Global, will share about learning to lay down his life—and even his wife's safety—in answer to God's call.
After hearing these brief excerpts, you'll want to go back and listen to the entire conversations. You can search for VOM Radio on your favorite podcast app, or listen online at the links below.
