SERVING PERSECUTED CHRISTIANS

We provide medical assistance for Christians who have been injured or are suffering ill health from persecution, including forced poverty and discrimination. This is accomplished by providing medical examinations, along with testing and treatment including surgery, prescriptions, healthcare supplies, prosthetics, specialised counselling and rehabilitation.

Our Bibles Plus campaign aims to provide spiritual and practical support for our brothers and sisters struggling with spiritual and physical hunger.

We provide help for those who have suffered persecution themselves and for the families of martyrs or prisoners. Assistance includes living expenses, prison visitation trips, education and orphanages for children, microbusinesses, training programmes and safe houses for Christians whose lives are in danger.

Our Front Line Ministry fund directly assists pastors, evangelists and full-time Christian workers who courageously minister in the face of hostility and persecution. It includes provision to support underground Bible colleges, leadership training, evangelism resources, computers, transportation, small business equipment, pastor support programmes and equipping churches with resources.

This fund helps VOM to print and distribute Bibles to believers who reside in restricted nations, where Bibles are difficult to obtain. This includes producing New Testaments and Bibles in both print and digital formats as well as Bible commentaries and inspirational Christian training material.

Supports the Australian and overseas (Pacific Islands and the Philippines) ministry activities and local initiatives to raise awareness about the persecuted church; also used to fund project shortfalls and emergency projects for persecuted Christians.
