“Please remember to keep pastor Abedini in your prayers. Unsurprisingly our fake Christian prez Mr. O did nothing to secure his release but since Mr. O loves Islam so much that may account for his indifference to the pastor’s plight.”  Admin A legal organization that has been fighting for the release of an American pastor imprisoned in Iran says that the pastor is now facing new danger over the recent U.S.-Iran nuclear deal. The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) outlined in an update on Thursday that after word of the agreement reached the ears of those incarcerated in [More]

“Excellent food for thought in these troubling times.”  Admin Have you ever been really discouraged? Have you ever sunk so deep into the depths of despair that you could see no way out? Have you lost perspective and feel like your problems are crashing down on you? God’s miracle man, Elijah the prophet, felt that way. Ironically, the depression he experienced came after one of his greatest victories, when he faced off with the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel. As the Bible points out, “Elijah was as human as we are” (James 4:17 NLT). In Elijah’s day, Israel was [More]

I was born and raised in a Christian home. I accepted Christ as my Savior at the age of five. I surrendered to the Gospel ministry at the age of eighteen. I attended or have diplomas and degrees from four Bible colleges. I started pastoring when I was twenty-three years of age. And I just observed my fortieth year of continuous pastoral ministry. As Paul said to his son in the faith, Timothy, so I can say, “And that from a child [I have] known the holy scriptures.” (II Tim. 3:15) Obviously, I am no stranger to the work of [More]

Earlier this week, VOM’s Todd Nettleton was a guest on In the Market with Janet Parshall, aired nationwide on the Moody Radio Network. In the 30-minute interview with Parshall, Nettleton shared some good news about what God is doing, including the stories of devout Muslims in the Middle East finding the Good News of Jesus Christ and choosing to follow Him, as well as good news about two imprisoned Christians in Iran.

A Kentucky 8th grade exam from 1912 was donated to the Bullitt County history museum. The questions feature the fundamental foundation of education that we seem to have lost due to the dumbing down of the American education system. Now with the common core epidemic we can see our youth transformed by a cookie cut education system and a near total loss of critical and independent thinking. If you can not read the fine print or zoom in, then here are some examples of 8th grade level testing in 1912. Define the following terms of government: Democracy, Limited Monarchy, Absolute [More]

“Later in the article it states: “This change would also respect the right of religious chartered organizations to continue to choose adult leaders whose beliefs are consistent with their own.” We’ll see how long that lasts. There is an alternative organization to the Boy Scouts, Trail Life USA, which is based on Christian values.”  Admin The executive committee of the Boy Scouts of America has unanimously approved a resolution that would drop the group’s blanket ban on openly gay leaders, a key step that puts the organization on the verge of its second historic shift in three years. While the [More]

Most American Christians think persecution is something that happens only in far-off places. Many don’t realize that Christians in Mexico—right next door—can face persecution. In Chiapas, Zapatista rebels pressure those who choose to follow Jesus to renounce their faith in Christ and return to the traditional religion and superstitions of the area. Christians are kicked out of their homes and villages, left with nothing. “Ivan” oversees VOM’s ministry to these bold believers, and this week he shares about meeting with them and how God continues to work in spite of the persecution they face.

“Someone else to add to your prayer list in addition to Pastor Said Abedini another prisoner in iran.”  Admin A Christian church leader has been set free from prison in Iran but only for a limited time, as nuclear talks enter the final phase between the country and US-led powers. Pastor Benham Irani has been given release but only temporarily, lasting for 15 days, CBN News wrote. Irani had to post a $40,000-bond to authorities as a guarantee for his eventual return. The pastor has been sent to prison twice since April 2010. A former Muslim, the-now Christian leader has [More]

“If you homeschool please read this article. You can listen to an interview of Charlotte Iserbyt by Jeff Rense on this subject here.”  Admin This is a call for ALL homeschoolers to pick up the phone IMMEDIATELY and call their U.S. Senators and DEMAND that they vote NO on Senator Lamar Alexander’s Every Child Achieves Act of 2015 (S.1177) which would reauthorize the Bush-era No Child Left Behind law until 2021.

The group of Pakistani Christian men knew the risks when they entered an Islamic festival where fanatical Muslim leaders preached jihad and attendees renewed their religious zeal. Quietly, they initiated conversations about Jesus, who is considered a holy prophet in Islam. By the end of the evening, they had distributed several hundred flyers telling about Jesus Christ and had exchanged phone numbers with people who wanted to learn more. These men are a few of the more than 30,000 front-line workers VOM supports. They are sharing the gospel in hostile and restricted nations at great risk. As they minister in [More]

The sheikh had just exited Syria, where he’d been providing Islamic theological training to ISIS fighters. Now, he was looking for a Bible. Not to burn it–but to learn more about Jesus Christ. This Islamic teacher is not alone; God is working in the hearts of Muslims all over the Middle East–even the hearts of radical ISIS fighters trained to find glory in bloodshed. After years in the Middle East as a part of Operation Mobilization, “Julian” will share amazing true stories of God’s Kingdom advancing among Arab Muslims. He’ll also share how Christians are facing persecution, and being empowered [More]

I had the pleasure of spending a few hours with my dear friend, Merv Knight, last week. After chatting with Merv, I decided to take a break from my series on Sudan to share an amazing story with you. I’ll share more updates and videos from Sudan next time. If you missed some of the earlier posts, you can find them here. But, for now, let me tell you a story that deepened my faith in the miracle-working God we serve. Merv Knight is the co-founder of VOM Australia and has ministered to persecuted Christians for more than 46 years. [More]

“At the bottom of the article is a video of his entire address on 06/04/15 at the Messiah Conference you can watch.”  Admin Jonathan Cahn, the Bible teacher and author who started warning nine years ago that America was facing the judgment of God if it did not reject secularism and return to its Judeo-Christian roots, says the June 26 Supreme Court ruling that legalized gay marriage in all 50 states marks the formal end to Christian America. Barring a “miracle of God,” the die has been cast, said the author of “The Harbinger” and “The Mystery of the Shemitah.” [More]

Before sunrise, a North Korean Christian seals his small, secret radio into a plastic bag and buries it in the ground. He will dig it up late that night to listen again to Biblical teaching while trying to avoid the prying eyes of his neighbors and his government. At the same time, a radio transmitter built by Adolf Hitler’s propaganda machine broadcasts Jesus’ love on a million watts of broadcast power, and a Christian in the Middle East secretly downloads the Gospel of John onto his phone. TWR is using radio waves, smart phones and internet connections to share the [More]

In 1992, Bei Cun, considered to be one of China’s leading avant-garde writers, did something that really shocked his readers and admirers: He converted to Christianity. But given the explosive growth of Christianity in China, it shouldn’t be all that surprising. If you haven’t heard of Bei Cun, that’s okay. Neither had I, probably because his work hasn’t been translated into English. I only learned of his story because my BreakPoint colleague and friend Roberto Rivera recently read Philip Jenkins book, “The New Faces of Christianity: Believing the Bible in the Global South,” which tells Bei’s story. After becoming a [More]

“The stats in this article tell a sad story of our continued moral decline and also indicate that the church is having little effect in halting this decline.”  Admin Are there any traditional moral taboos left? A new Gallup poll says people are moving toward acceptance of a wide variety of behaviors once condemned as taboo and morally unacceptable. Americans are more likely now than in 2001 to accept gay and lesbian relations, having a baby outside of marriage and sex between an unmarried man and woman. Moral acceptability of many of these issues is now at a record-high level, [More]

More than 100 leaders respond to Supreme Court legalizing same-sex marriage. A coalition of evangelical leaders assembled by the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission has released the following: As evangelical Christians, we dissent from the court’s ruling that redefines marriage. The state did not create the family, and should not try to recreate the family in its own image. We will not capitulate on marriage because biblical authority requires that we cannot. The outcome of the Supreme Court’s ruling to redefine marriage represents what seems like the result of a half-century of witnessing marriage’s decline through divorce, cohabitation, and a [More]

Two Christian youth organizations have inked an agreement to work together. American Heritage GirlsTrail Life USA and American Heritage Girls have signed a Memorandum of Ministry Alliance during the A.H.G. annual convention underway in Anderson, Indiana. Trail Life USA spokesman Mark Hancock says the agreement means the two groups will support each other, and share troop information and resources. “And of course the 20 years of experience American Heritage Girls has gone before us, we have a lot we can learn from them,” Hancock tells OneNewsNow.

Kingdom racing is a motorsport ministry birthed out of the life changing experience George Del Canto had after salvation in Jesus Christ.

Christians in the Nuba Mountains of Sudan are under attack from their own government. When a plane flies overhead, our Sudanese brothers and sisters dive into foxholes to escape falling bombs. Hospitals and even schools are specifically targeted by the Islamic government of Sudan. Many Christians have fled their homes and are living in caves or in the mountains in hopes of finding safety. Yet even in the midst of attacks, some Christians are finding ways to reach out with Jesus’ love. VOM’s Dr. Jason Peters visited Christians in Sudan, and this week on VOM Radio he shares their inspiring [More]

A Washington Post article tells the story of a tiny Baptist church near Murfreesboro, Tennessee. The congregation had dwindled to just fifteen members. With bills stacking up, Deacon Larry Montgomery told the congregation, “We’re just not going to make it.” Montgomery then told the people of Scenic Drive Baptist that there was a congregation who might want to buy the church. This congregation had been meeting in homes and had a pastor whose business card quoted John 4:35: “Look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.” Montgomery approached the pastor, who then called his flock to pray about it. [More]

I fell in love with Colorado, but was it where God wanted me to be? I needed a sign. My best friend Shannon and I strapped everything I owned to the roof of my red Mazda and hit the road—I-35 North, saying goodbye to Houston for good. I’d never lived anywhere else, but in 17 hours, I’d start my new life in Boulder, Colorado. While Shannon drove, I gazed out the window, hoping to glimpse a sign from God that this was the right move. All I saw was a blur of familiar places I was leaving behind. In Houston, [More]

The boys and I were cleaning closets. Eliminating excess. Desiring to get by with less in order to embrace what’s more. But in the bedroom cabinet, beneath a box of must-keep letters, I found a precious thing, the thing that helped me remember who I am in Christ. My autograph book–from the fourth grade. The cover was faded. Corners were worn round. Entries from my friends, written in #2 lead pencils, were faint. I turned pages and remembered smooth wooden desktops and stacks of hard-bound books and the scent of spring through open windows when Louie the custodian drove a [More]

Last night my small group from church met together, as we do weekly. We spend time together, catch up on each other’s lives, study the Bible and pray. I really appreciate this group and their commitment to coming together, as well as their commitment to serve. When I visited with Syrian Christians two weeks ago, I asked the group if they’d like to send something small to bless the Syrian believers living in a war zone. Two women from my group came back with over 50 button-down shirts and a selection of lotions and perfumes for the women. Over Christmas, [More]
