Greetings Pastor, We are excited for the ‘I Commit’ conference this Saturday. We would love to have you and your congregation join us for this special conference. It is going to be a great day as we gather. Matt Rose/VOM Conferences Please join us this Saturday, August 9, for The Voice of the Martyrs’ “I Commit” Regional Conference. Many Christians around the world today are persecuted because of their faith in Christ, yet through their lives and words they continue to proclaim, “I Commit” to serve the Lord, to stand faithful and to share the gospel with others. Come and be encouraged by persecuted believers’ testimonies of courage and faith, hear how God has worked in their lives and learn what God’s Word teaches us about persecution and commitment. The conference will feature the following speakers: While growing up in Syria, “Brother John” heard the call to prayer shouted out from minarets across his country of 24 million people every day. It was a continual reminder of how many people needed to know the truth. Today, through ongoing ministry in war-torn Syria, “Brother John” sees God working in awesome ways to bring many Arab people to a true saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Pastor Shi Weihan, now also known by his English name, John Stone, was a house church leader and Christian publisher in Beijing. After printing nearly 1 million Bibles in China, he was sentenced to three years in prison on a charge of violating “the regulations of the state in printing illegal publications.” During his imprisonment, Pastor Shi and his family were greatly encouraged by thousands of letters they received through VOM’s Prisoner Alert ministry. Eric Foley and his wife, Mrs. Hyun Sook Foley, founded “Seoul USA,” a ministry devoted to supporting the work of the indigenous underground church in North Korea. They oversee staff members in the U.S. and across Asia who minister to and equip North Koreans for kingdom service. Eric is the author of numerous books, including These Are the Generations, which describes God’s work in North Korea through three generations of the Bae family. Robert Brock has been on staff with The Voice of the Martyrs since 1993. He has met with and served our persecuted brothers and sisters in China, Sudan, Pakistan, Indonesia, Vietnam, Cuba, India, Myanmar, Laos, Bangladesh, Colombia and many other nations. Musician/vocalist Amy Shreve and husband, Gary, lived in Nashville, TN, for many years. They have recorded 16 CDs ranging from harp instrumental to a vocal with contemporary style and full instrumental accompaniment. Two of their CDs have been done with The Voice of the Martyrs. They have led worship and music at VOM national conferences and regional conferences across the United States.
