The rented fellowship hall where Zion Church (Sri Lanka) presently meets for worship as they rebuild their church building. Sri Lankan soldiers stand guard during worship.

This Easter marks the second anniversary of the deadly 2019 suicide bombing of Zion Church in Batticaloa, Sri Lanka. In that bombing, local Islamic jihadists used a so-called “Mother of Satan” bomb similar to the one used in IS-related attacks on churches in Indonesia in 2018. 31 were killed in the Zion Church attack, and Zion Church’s building was destroyed.

But the Easter 2019 attach has not driven Sri Lankan Christians into hiding.

Warmly in Christ,
Pastor Foley and Dr. Foley


Through your donations, VOM Korea was able to send funds for 23 sewing machines for persecuted Christian women in India! One woman said:

I had suffered so much unbearable pain running from place to place over the last 8 years. Many Christians had to run from their village and hide in the deep jungles because of their faith in Christ. Today, I have been given a new life through the sewing machine and the training I received. Thank you to VOM for taking me into your program and building up hope for me when I had no one to care for me.

Have you ever felt troubled by the story of the Canaanite woman in Matthew 15:21-28? The story where Jesus rejects the woman three times . . . the story where Jesus calls the woman a dog?

Many preachers apologize for Jesus by saying that Jesus didn't actually mean what he said. But Pastor and Dr. Foley point out that Jesus did in fact mean what he said, and the woman herself agreed with Jesus' assessment.

It is only through this correct assessment that this woman (and us) have access to the promises of God.

Pray for balloon launching and Bible distribution in 2021: On March 30th, a new law came into effect in South Korea that bans balloon launches. We are still seeking clarification on how this law will apply to our launches. Balloon launching is not the only method of Bible distribution to NK, and we are already distributing large numbers of Bibles to North Korea this year. Pray that we would be faithful to continue distributing them no matter what challenges lay ahead. 
 
Pray for reconciliation for two NK women who recently got in a fight: Fighting as a way to resolve differences is very common amongst NK defectors. One of the women involved got a broken rib as a result of the altercation. Pray that they would not only reconcile with each other, but that they would be brought to reconciliation with Christ.
