The Voice Of The Martyrs?

[Homie]

Is this organization a good organization were the money actually reaches the people, or has it become one of those big organizations were 80% of the money goes to administrative costs, such as buildings and so forth.

I wish to donate to an organization that helps persecuted christians and/or spreads the gospel and bibles in muslim countries.

any suggestions, any opinions on voice of the martyrs?

I'd suggest finding a church with a strong missionary focus.

Sorry...never heard of them Homie. Quick Google should give you more information.

All the different sites I visited seem to be on the up and up. Here is a link from Ministry Watch:

My father-in-law publishes an international Christian paper (Herald of His Coming), and I know they have frequent contact with Voice of the Martyrs. I'm not so familiar with them myself, but I do also have a heart to assist in this ministry. It is my understanding that they are a very good, Godly ministry. Since my father-in-law supports them, I won't have any problem with their credibility.

Not that I can give you anything concrete, but from what I hear, this would be a very worthy ministry to support.

I do think that most of the money does go to helping the perscuted Christians. They are based out where I live. I suggest looking at their website it might help.

Here is something I found on their website you will need adobe reader to look at it though

I hope this helps some.

Thank you so much for the help brothers and sisters. The numbers you provided helped immensely okiemommy, the credit given by your father-in-law also helped Chief.

Their numbers check out great, with only 6.6 % administrative costs and 3.4 % fundraising.

thanks again

I've been reading their stuff for quite some time now. They seem on the up and up, but we haven't felt led to donate to this organization yet. I hope we get to in the near future because there are many Christians around the world greatly persecuted for their faith that need our prayers and help.

Voice of the Martyrs was started in cooperation with Joseph Wurmbrand who wrote Tortured for Christ and In G-d's Underground/. He spent 12 years in a Romanian Prison for his preaching for Christ. He was rearrested in 1953 and sentenced to 25 years. I met him when he spent a week speaking in Chapel at the Bible College that I went to. This man literally bore the scars of suffering for his stand for Christ in Communist countries.

To this day, I still feel the challenge that he left us with at the end of his week with us. He said, "If tomorrow it became illegal for you to live for Christ, would there be enough evidence of Christ in your life, to convict you?"

Unless they have changed dramatically in the last few years, and I do support them, then this is an organization you can trust.

I receive that paper! I need to really sit and read them more thoroughly though. I haven't had a chance to do that.
