About Voice of the Martyrs
Voice of the Martyrs Australia was founded in 1969 and is part of a global partnership of independent missions started through the influence of Pastor Richard Wurmbrand.
Richard Wurmbrand was imprisoned and tortured by communist authorities in his native Romania for 14 years, including three years in solitary confinement. He envisioned a ministry that would focus on the persecuted church, raise a voice on its behalf and provide encouragement and assistance to persecuted Christians.
What is Christian Persecution?
Throughout the world today, millions of Christians are experiencing persecution for the sake of Christ. Pastors are imprisoned or killed for proclaiming the Gospel in their churches and villages. Young people flee for their lives when their families discover they have converted to Christianity. Believers are beaten, tortured, pursued.
They are falsely accused, threatened, abused, starved, maimed and harassed.
Their homes and churches are burnt down, their Bibles and Christian material confiscated, and their businesses destroyed.
They are expelled from school and college, fired from their jobs, treated as criminals and rebels, forbidden to evangelise, and forced to meet and worship in secret.

International Day of Prayer
The most common request of persecuted Christians is “PRAY FOR US.”
One of the ways we answer their request is through participation on the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church (IDOP), which we observe on the first Sunday of November each year.
We urge Christians worldwide to pray throughout the year for those who suffer because of their Christian witness.
Pray for the
Persecuted Church
The first request of persecuted Christians is always, “Please pray for us!”
Your prayers can have a powerful impact in the lives of persecuted Christians. Make prayer for the persecuted church a regular part of your personal prayer life. Speak up for persecuted Christians and encourage your church to commit to pray for the persecuted church.

“Remember the prisoners as if chained with them, those who are mistreated, since you yourselves are in the body also” Hebrews 13:3.
The Lord’s command to remember those in prison is more than mental recollection – it is a call to prayer and action.
In partnership with Christians throughout Australia, Voice of the Martyrs is working to meet the spiritual and material needs of persecuted Christians.
Get involved with us! Find out how you can keep informed, pray,
and write to Christian prisoners in this section.
