The Voice of the Martyrs Canada
Actively Remembering and Serving the "Church Persecuted."
Voice of the Martyrs is a Canadian non-profit charitable organization dedicated to supporting, loving and encouraging persecuted Christians worldwide.
We help Christians who are, or have been, persecuted for their involvement in spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We provide medical assistance, food, clothing and other forms of aid.
We encourage persecuted Christians by giving their testimonies a voice and informing Christians in Canada to know how to help. We believe that the lives and the testimonies of persecuted Christians are a vital part of the fellowship of all believers and will challenge and strengthen the faith of Christians everywhere.

Ten years. That's how long a Christian family witnessed to a Pakistani Muslim name Huzaifa before he came to Christ.
A young Christian woman working in his shop answered his questions about her faith and invited him to church. He then met the rest of her family and began attending church.
For two years he studied the Bible. And then, ten years after Christians began sharing with him, Huzaifa placed his trust in Christ.
Lord, I'm grateful my persecuted Christian family didn't tire of sharing with Huzaifa. May I have their patience as I share You with others. Amen.

ETHIOPIA: Attacked Church Seeks New Meeting Location
On July 29th, a small congregation in Ethiopia was attacked by hostile community members who were opposed to the church's presence in their village. During the incident, the attackers dismantled the simple shelter where the Christians had been meeting, and then they proceeded to steal its structural materials. (For more details about this incident, see this report:.vomcanada.com/et-2025-08-21.htm)
Since the attack, the church's pastor and his wife have been seeking a new meeting place for their congregation. However, they continue to face strong opposition from the local community. This ministering couple had initially arranged to lease a venue, but the owner later withdrew from the agreement due to pressure from militant Muslim activists. Despite the setbacks, these faithful church leaders remain committed to finding a suitable new location where they can continue meeting with local converts who have become part of their congregation.

Two brothers present an offering to the Lord. One is a “keeper of sheep,” the other a “worker of the ground.” One of the offerings is acceptable to God; the other is not. This results in one brother rising up against the other and killing him. Within the initial four chapters of the Bible, we witness the first act of martyrdom (or religion persecution): Cain killing Abel (Genesis 4:2-8).
Throughout the Scripture (Old and New Testament), the trials and persecutions of those who chose to live godly lives are revealed. From Abel to the prophets, from John the Baptist to the disciples, the world has always rejected (the) Truth.
"In the Shadow of the Cross" explores suffering and persecution throughout the entire Bible, from Genesis to Revelation. Included are observations and studies from nearly 200 Christian scholars, both ancient and modern. Never before has such an intensive study of persecution in the Bible been assembled. No student of the Bible should be without this resource.

RUSSIA: Church Congregations Banned
Courts in Russia have prohibited the activities of several Council of Churches Baptist congregations due to their refusal to register with the state. As a result, at least five church buildings were forcibly closed, and three more are presently under investigation. A court order issued in September 2024 applies to all the congregations of this denomination, which comprise of an estimated 2,500 churches.
In Kurganinsk, one congregation has been gathering outdoors since this May, after bailiffs sealed the doors of their church building. "Last Sunday, I witnessed church members old and young praying on their knees, right on the pavement," recounts a member of this congregation. "The [believers] have one heart and one spirit. The church defends its independence from the state."
Although prosecutors claim that the forced closures are necessary to maintain public order and state security, these Christian communities are reputed for their long history of peaceful worship gatherings. In fact, the churches' opposition to state registration, which has been shaped by past persecution under the former Soviet Union, happens to be a key element of their identity. Since the collapse of the USSR, these congregations have continued to meet openly, often in private homes and prayer houses.
While the current crackdown is particularly targeting the Council of Churches Baptist congregations, Christian leaders of other denominations are concerned that more unregistered churches in Russia may soon face similar opposition.
Severe restrictions are also being imposed on congregations in Russian-occupied areas of Ukraine, where courts have penalized individuals and churches for worshipping or sharing their faith without official permission.

Richard Wurmbrand didn’t fear his greatest times of trouble because he believed they could also be times of deliverance. Carry that truth with you the next time you experience anxiety. Yes, the situation is troubling, but what might God be doing in and through the difficulties you face?

The task Jesus gave His disciples in Acts 1:8 has not changed over the years. He is calling each one of His followers to serve as His witnesses “to the end of the earth.”
Reflect on the testimony of the early church, and then ask yourself:
Today, am I excited about what Jesus is doing in my life? If so, is my excitement visible to others? Am I living in such a way that my life is bearing witness to the Gospel – even when I’m not speaking?
