According to researchers, the number of Christians among the Saura tribe of eastern India has increased from 2,000 30 years ago to more than 200,000 today, an estimated 60% of the Saura population.

That growth has led to resentment and violence against the Saura pastors who live in the majority-Hindu Saura villages in India’s Odisha State. That’s why Voice of the Martyrs Korea is “adopting” 18 of these pastors in partnership with our sister mission, VOM Poland. It’s a project designed to help meet their basic needs while also training them to face potentially worse persecution in the future.

71 years ago this month, Cho Man-Sik was shot to death by Communist Forces.

He was called "The Korean Gandhi" and was one of most trusted leaders in the North.

But as the chosen governor of the five provinces of North Korea, Cho Man-Sik refused to sign a paper from the United Nations that authorized the division of North and South Korea.

This refusal led to his removal from his position, his arrest and his eventual death. 



The Underground Church reminds us that God is not bound by beautiful church buildings . . . Christians can worship in a church building, in a forest and even in a basement apartment.

But throughout the Bible, God was also very specific on when, where and how He wants to meet His people.

For us as New Testament Christians, the sacraments are an example of how God chooses to meet with us.
