Join us as we continue to look back on some of the most moving moments on VOM Radio in 2021:
- "Brother Aaron" says Christian persecution in Pakistan is "like the air"—all around, all the time.
- Aaron Miller says his personal experience of persecution was surprising—but sacred as well.
- Dan Baumann and Andrew Brunson said they don't miss being in prison, but sometimes they do miss that intimacy with God. (Register to view the Imprisoned for Christ Virtual Event.)
- Ellen Oblander shared how Richard Wurmbrand responded to suffering—even long after he was released from prison.
- Anita Smith remembered the death of her husband, Ronnie Smith, in Libya, and how she began to pray for the men who killed him.
- Tat Stewart tells about being in Tehran the day the US Embassy was taken over in 1979—and how God honored the spiritual seeds he planted in Iran.
- Andy Byrd told of a young lady who came to Christ in the Himalayas—and paid a very high price.
- "Brother Stephen" remembered telling the story of Jesus in a Bedouin camp to people who had never heard it before.
