VOM Korea announced today a plan to distribute 5,000 Bibles to Egyptian Muslims in 2022, through a partnership with local Egyptian Christians and their sister mission, VOM Australia.

The partnership follows a successful distribution of 2,000 Bibles to Egyptian Muslims in 2020.


Warmly in Christ,
Pastor Foley and Dr. Foley

Authorities in Deyang in China’s Sichuan Province detained the accountant for Early Rain Qingcaodi Church, one of the churches planted by the embattled Chengdu Early Rain Covenant Church, on November 30.

The detainment is the latest in a series of arrests and investigations as Early Rain Covenant Church enters its fourth year following the arrest of Senior Pastor Wang Yi and more than 100 members of its Chengdu congregation on December 9, 2018. 


The church is growing faster in North Korea than it is in South Korea or America. In fact, the ten countries where the church is growing the fastest are places where Christians are persecuted.

In these countries, we don't meet many sad, fearful or worried Christians. We also don't meet Christians who are asking us to rescue them.

Hebrews 13:3 gives us the key to how we can relate to Christians in North Korea, China, Afghanistan and other countries were persecution is severe.

Continue to pray for Chinese Pastor Pan and his congregation on Jeju island. 
Their family members in China have recently received new threats from the Chinese government. The government said that Pastor Pan must stop saying bad things about “the motherland,” and that he and the congregation must return to China. 
 
Please pray for family members of martyrs and imprisoned Christians in NK – When Christians are martyred or imprisoned, their family members are forgotten and even subjected to continued persecution and discrimination. Pray not only for God’s comfort, but also that the Lord would use them to encourage the faith of South Korean Christians.
