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]

The focus for VOM’s free monthly newsletter in June is Christians facing persecution in Africa, with stories from Niger, Uganda and Kenya. Recently, VOM’s sister mission in the UK, Release International, produced this video about the rise of persecution in Kenya. Please pray for our persecuted family in Africa. Watch video  Persecution Blog: Video: The Gathering Storm of Persecution in Kenya.

How can a pastor continue leading a church that keeps getting attacked? How can he protect other people after he’s been assaulted multiple times? These are some of the questions that ran through my mind as 48-year-old Rev. Yakubu D’zarai recently shared his story with me at VOM’s office in Nigeria. Since 1993, Yakubu has pastored churches in Borno state – where terrorist group Boko Haram is based and Shariah (Islamic law) is rule. Two of his church buildings have been bombed. The first, home to 276 worshipers, was bombed on Dec. 18, 2012. The second, home to 278 worshipers, [More]

If you, dear reader, need a similar life transforming encounter with God you can have it, click here.”  Admin He was known as the Dark Destroyer in his boxing prime, but now Nigel Benn is concentrating on building people up, not knocking them down – though he hasn’t turned his back on the sport. Benn, an army veteran who served in Northern Ireland during the Troubles, was one of the most successful British boxers ever. He became the WBC and WBO super middleweight champion, with a record of 42 wins from 48 [More]

“So will the Church see the rise of the Anti-Christ and suffer great persecution worldwide, click here for the answer.”  Admin The Christian church in America lies quiet, paralyzed, apparently moribund in the face of a wildfire of anti-Christian cultural and political trends sweeping the nation. same-sex marriage; the Supreme Court’s decision labeling any and all opposition to the above as nothing short of bigotry; the first, unmistakable signs of persecution against those believers who do stand up in defiance often because they were entrapped by anti-Christian activists; a national freak show of the celebration of “transgenderism” and other deviant [More]

“Please remember to keep him in your prayers. And also pray that our illustrious lawmakers take some real action to get him released.” Admin An American pastor who has been imprisoned in Iran for over the past two years has again been beaten behind bars. As previously reported, Saeed Abedini, a former Iranian Muslim turned Christian, left Iran in 2005 and moved to the United States with his wife and two children to find religious freedom after facing conflict with authorities for planting house churches in the county. In 2012, he traveled back to Iran to build an orphanage and [More]

“Just another nail in our spiritual coffin. Judgement is on its way.”  Admin Support for same-sex marriage is at a record high, according to a Pew Research Center poll released Monday. A majority of Americans — 57% — are in favor of gay marriage. Just five years ago, only 42% of Americans supported same-sex marriage. The Pew Research Center survey, conducted via telephone interviews among 2,002 adults nationwide, found divides along racial lines in terms of support for same-sex marriage. While 59% of whites and 56% of Hispanics support gay marriage, only 51% of blacks are in favor. Pew has [More]

“The article details how you can write to imprisoned Christians overseas and be an encouragement to them.” Admn I stepped into the simple office from the dark hallway. As my eyes adjusted, I saw a man sitting against the far wall, quietly. I didn’t know it yet, but I was about to meet Mohammed Hegazy, one of the most infamous converts to Christianity in Egypt. After he converted, he insisted on legally changing his religious status from Muslim to Christianity. While his case languished in the courts, Mohammed and his family had to go into hiding after extremists began calling [More]

“As things become more difficult for Christians in this country this falling away of cultural Christians will accelerate.”  Admin The Roman historian Tacitus described Emperor Nero’s persecution of Christians: “In their very deaths they were made the subjects of sport: for they were covered with the hides of wild beasts, and torn to death by dogs, or nailed to crosses, or set fire to, and when the day waned, burned to serve for the evening lights.” In spite of what you may have read or heard, the recent Pew Research Center report “America’s Changing Religious Landscape” was better news for [More]

During my time in seminary I took a leadership course taught by the late, great Howard Hendricks. As we studied the life of David, Hendricks shared a study he conducted with a group of men in full-time ministry who had fallen into a morally disqualifying sin. At the time, I had only been a Christian for a few years, but unfortunately the subject was all too relevant. During my early days I had witnessed several men whom I loved and respected fall into serious sinful compromise. At one point in those days, the falls came so frequently I felt as [More]

Americans have a surprising openness to Christian churches, even those who are supposedly turned off to religion, a new survey finds. No matter which denomination is in the name of a church, fewer than half the nonreligious say “it’s not for me.” Their views are more favorable than unfavorable toward a wide range of faiths—Catholic, Methodist, Baptist, Lutheran, Assemblies of God, and non-denominational. These findings, based on a new survey of denominational opinions by LifeWay Research, may come as a surprise to those who’ve seen recent headlines. Growing numbers of people who don’t identify with any church have gathered considerable [More]

“One of our YWAM workers in the Middle East was contacted by a friend earlier this year and they met up and he was introduced to an ISIS fighter who had killed many Christians already. I mean that’s a horrible situation, and admittedly, he was probably on guard,” Gina Fadely, director of Youth With A Mission Frontier Missions, Inc. (YWAM), said during a recent appearance on The Voice of the Martyrs Radio Network. YWAM, a nonprofit missionary organization active since 1960, describes itself as “a global movement of Christians from many cultures, age groups, and Christian traditions, dedicated to serving [More]

Working alongside believers who are actively serving God in some of the most dangerous places on earth is incredible! It is staggering to hear story after story of miraculous interventions in their lives. It is also humbling. We meet regularly with Christians who are willing to forsake all to follow Jesus. As I chat with colleagues in my office following these visits, our conversation often leads into spirited discussions about the “living book of Acts” that we are honored to witness. The Acts of the Apostles has 28 chapters, but, many times, it seems like we are seeing Chapter 29 [More]

“Another study that shows teens are a vast mission field in this country. In the article it notes “The study also notes an “increasing acknowledgment that religion is not consistent with scientific understanding” could be driving adolescents away from religion.” After decades of brainwashing kids with the theory of evolution this is not surprising. That’s why sites like this and many others are vital in getting out the creation message and telling the other side of the story.”  Admin Religion is rapidly losing the youngest generation of Americans, according to new research. America’s rising generation of adults are the least [More]

According to United Bible Societies’ 2014 Global Scripture Access Report, Bible Societies helped complete translations in 51 languages spoken by more than 1.3 billion people – including 1.2 billion Chinese speakers and 146 million speakers of other languages. Andrew Hood, managing director of communications for the American Bible Society, explains the translations are all the more remarkable given the escalated level of trials and tribulations against Christians in 2014. “Even in the midst of Boko Haram attacks and the Ebola outbreak, you had the translators working through those crises faithfully,” he tells OneNewsNow. “That they were still able to launch [More]

“Excellent article on the importance of a well educated, literate people to any society. Plus a look at the philosophy of early education in the US through quotes from Noah Webster. One cannot fail to see how far we’ve gotten away from what was considered important in the early history of this country regarding education and how as a society we are paying the price for it now.”  Admin The earliest human records appeared about 3,000 or 4,000 B.C. – Sumerian cuneiform on clay tablets in the Mesopotamian Valley. This was followed by Egyptian hieroglyphics on papyrus, and Chinese characters [More]

More than thirty percent of the world’s population is “unreached,” meaning there is no church among their people. It’s hard for American Christians to imagine more than two billion people living their entire lives without ever hearing the name of Jesus or meeting a believer in Christ. Gina F. and Kevin S. are part of the leadership of Youth With A Mission’s Frontier Mission teams, sending gospel workers to those places where there is no church and the people have never heard of the love of Christ. Listen in below to meet them and hear what kind of workers are [More]

“I’ve read quite a few reports of various kinds of miracles happening when this movie is shown at places around the world.”  Admin God’s power reigns in the most pagan of environments. Even in cultures where evil is worshipped, God is still working. This was made clear to Alex Mbewe. Alex is a team leader for The JESUS Film Project, which strives to spread the message of Jesus around the world by showing a movie about the Savior’s life. It started when Alex’s group was showing the film in Zambia. A witch became angry when she found out the movie [More]

On a recent Sunday, I arrived at church early and noticed two women that didn’t appear to be regulars in our church. They wore hijabs. Immediately, a number of questions raced through my mind. What were they doing? What would others think of them? While I have heard of many Muslim-background believers, it seemed like a bold step to set foot in a church. It’s a bold step for a seeker from any background. Some looked at them with curiosity. Others approached with a smile. The pastor had questions. It didn’t appear as though anyone had security concerns, and no [More]
