This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human. As a listener of the Chosen People podcast,

you know the power of God's Word. For Christians in more than 70 nations, access to the Bible

is limited or even restricted. More than 850,000 Christians need Bibles right now. Through the Voice of the Martyrs Network of

frontline workers, you have the opportunity to help place a Bible in the hands of every

Christian in a hostile area or restricted nation. These workers are willing to risk arrest,

imprisonment, beatings, and even death to get Bibles to Christians who might

never receive them otherwise. We know them by name, and you can help. Learn more about VOM's

Bible distribution at VOM.org slash chosen Bible. Today, our brothers and sisters are asking for Bibles.

You can help provide them by visiting v.com.org slash chosen Bible now.
