The Voice of the Martyrs is a non-profit, inter-denominational Christian organization dedicated to assisting the persecuted church worldwide. VOM was founded in 1967 by Pastor Richard Wurmbrand, who was imprisoned fourteen years in Communist Romania for his faith in Christ. His wife, Sabina, was imprisoned for three years. In the 1960s, Richard, Sabina, and their son, Mihai, were ransomed out of Romania and came to the United States. Through their travels, the Wurmbrands spread the message of atrocities that Christians face in restricted nations, while establishing a network of offices dedicated to assisting the persecuted church. 

One way VOM assists the persecuted church is by sending in bibles. With our donations given through our Faith Promise, ten bibles are sent to various countries were the believers are requesting bibles. Through the Bibles Unbound program, WMBC has sent bibles to China, Afghanistan and Nepal.
