When a local Islamic leader saw a Christian helping people from different tribal and religious groups, he experienced Jesus’ transformational power.
Sheikh Adam saw a VOM-supported frontline worker serving people from both evangelical and Orthodox churches in a Muslim-majority region, and he wondered why.
The frontline worker told him, “This is what we’ve learned from Christ and the Bible.” Sheik Adam wanted that same kind of “good heart”, so he committed his life to Jesus.
He invited the evangelist to his home to share, and twelve others also gave their lives to Christ. Today, the evangelist continues to visit this new house fellowship to teach them more about their new faith.

The noble activities of The Voice of the Martyrs USA is commendable and highly appreciated; Please, extend attention to other front-line workers languishing un-noticed over the years. This writer is a victim of unjust persecution at the hands of a false apostle in the Philippines since year 2004; Amazingly no professing Christian group in the Philippines stood-up for THE TRUTH ON BEHALF OF OUR SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST; I Believe OUR MASTER IS WORTH LIVING FOR, AND HE IS ALSO WORTH DYING FOR IN-ACTIVE SERVICE.
God our Father who watches over each and every one of His children, have mercy on our brother Evangelist John O. Elder and give him wisdom, discernment, patience and endurance as he faces ongoing threats and persecution from ‘a false apostle’. Thank you for John’s faith and perseverance and continue to show him mercy and all to your glory. Give him sweet fellowship and strengthen his faith that others might come to know and love Jesus as Lord and Saviour.
Our Father in Heaven, God of all the nations, we pray for the nation of Ethiopia, its leaders and people. Have mercy on them and the surrounding nations especially Eritrea and Somalia. Pour out your Holy Spirit that your people might faithfully bring the Gospel of Christ in word and deed and that He might quietly and irresistibly lead unbelievers to the Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you for Adam and the wonderful ministry that has begun. Have mercy on this new home fellowship and give the Frontline worker every need and resource to train these believers to spread the word and live for Him who is faithful.
The gate of hell can not prevailed against the church as we stand in love and faith.
