Summary

Brother John first heard about VOM's ministry when he was given a copy of Richard Wurmbrand's book, Tortured for Christ. After reading the book, his heart was touched and he told the Lord that he would be honored to receive the gift of persecution. Today he helps to support and encourage the church in Myanmar in spite of the persecution and challenges there. We'll learn about VOM support for the church in Burma through leadership training, Bibles, tools for front-line workers and other projects.

0:00.0	One of the ways the Gospel is often shared in America and other Western countries is with the focus on how much
0:14.8	better the person's life will be right now if they just choose to follow Christ.
0:21.6	We've probably all heard the idea that Jesus wants to give you a bigger
0:24.3	house and a better job or some other promise of earthly comfort in exchange for following
0:30.6	him. Our brothers and sisters in hostile and restricted nations
0:34.8	can't use that approach. They know that the lives of the people they're
0:39.2	witnessing to will get worse in the earthly sense if they commit to following Jesus. They might
0:46.2	lose their jobs, they might get kicked out of their homes, they might even go to
0:50.7	jail. But here's what these bold witnesses say,
0:55.0	it's worth it.
0:56.0	Even if you suffer, it's worth it to be in fellowship with the Savior
1:01.0	who gave his very life for you. It's a very different message from the one
1:05.2	we often hear in the West. This week we're going to meet a bold evangelist who's sharing that
1:10.4	message in the nation of Myanmar and seeing lives dramatically changed by God's love.
1:17.0	We'll talk about the blessing of persecution right now on the Voice of the martyr's radio network.
1:23.6	Jesus never promised his following. Jesus never promised his followers an easy path. In fact he told his disciples the world
1:38.1	would hate them. He sent them out as sheep among wolves. Jesus' words came true in the life of the Apostles and
1:44.5	they're still coming true today in the lives of his followers around the world.
1:48.3	Join host Todd Nettleton as we hear their inspiring stories and learn how we can help right now on the
1:54.6	voice of the Martyrs radio network.
2:01.0	Welcome again to the Voice of the Martyr's Radio. We're here today with a new friend
