PROJECT
UPDATES
Thanks to the generous support of people like you VOM Australia is able to complete an average of 155 projects each year. We would like to extend our thanks to you on behalf of staff and volunteers at VOM and the persecuted church which we serve.
We are committed to providing high standards of accountability to our donors via our annual ‘Impact Report’ and regular project updates. There are some project updates that we keep confidential, due to security and safety concerns, but we post what we can.
Project – Indonesia: Evangelists furthering God’s Kingdom
Voice of the Martyrs proudly funds the ministry activities of front line workers in many nations.
