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.

Voice of the Martyrs proudly funds the ministry activities of front line workers in many nations.

Project – Brunei: Transforming lives through the word of God
Brunei is a Muslim-majority nation under the rule of a dynastic sultan and Islamic Sharia law. There are approximately 20 churches in Brunei and few opportunities for Bruneians to hear the Gospel. Bibles are not sold in bookshops and the penalty for evangelising Muslims is a $15,000 fine or up to five years in prison. The urgent need for the Gospel means that equipping believers who are willing to share it is a top priority.
