United States American Kids Find Ways To Help

United States: American Kids Find Ways to Help

How do U.S. kids help their persecuted brothers and sisters around the world? They pack an Action Pack, send Bibles overseas, hold a bake sale, stage a play, choose a country to pray for, organize a concert, or make parachutes for missionary pilots who drop Christian books out of planes. Or they create their own project, like John and Anna’s family did.

John and Anna’s Woodcutting Project
A few winters ago, a huge ice storm knocked down thousands of trees in the midwestern U.S. People needed help getting the trees out of their yards and off their land.

John and Anna’s family knew what to do. During previous winters, they had learned how to chop, stack, and sell firewood to earn money for VOM projects. They hadn’t earned much money, but they had gotten lots of practice.

Then the ice storm came. John and Anna’s dad and older brother chopped fallen trees. John and Anna picked up the wood and stacked it. Anna was born without a left hand and forearm, so a device attached to her arm helped her handle the wood. John has no right arm or leg, so similar devices helped him.

Anna made signs to advertise their wood for sale. She and John put ads on Internet sites and collected money from people who bought the wood for their fireplaces.

The family sent the money they earned to The Voice of the Martyrs to help persecuted Christians around the world. As John and Anna have grown, so has their yearly VOM project. Last winter they earned more than $1,000! They are thankful for the opportunity to help Christians they read about in VOM publications.

The Voice of the Martyrs

Statement of Faith

We believe the Bible to be the inspired, authoritative Word of God who is eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His personal return in power and glory.

We believe that for salvation of lost and sinful men, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers of Christ.

We believe in the message of the persecuted churches, a message which has been brought to the West by the founders of the mission, Pastor Richard and Sabina Wurmbrand.

We have witnessed that the blood of the martyrs is the seed which makes the churches grow; and therefore, the mention of martyrs must be brought into the teachings and practices of the church. We believe that Christians who serve and love Christ, and are persecuted for this, should be helped. We believe the Bible teaches that we should love even our enemies. How much more so should we love our brethren who are persecuted for their faith in all parts of the world? Hebrews 13:3 states, "Remember them that are in bonds as bound with them, and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body."
