Summary

Merv Knight is one of the longest-serving members of VOM's worldwide family, having met VOM founder Richard Wurmbrand on the first day of August in 1969. Merv shares this week stories of the Wurmbrands, how they ministered both under persecution and after coming to the free world, and some of the challenges they faced launching a ministry to serve persecuted believers around the world. Merv also shares testimonies from some of the many persecuted Christians he's met during more than 45 years of service to our persecuted family, and the lessons he's learned from the lives of those willing to suffer and even die rather than deny their faith in Christ.
