I am astounded at the heroism of VOM personnel, and of the persecuted believers they seek to help. We in America are so fortunate (so far). To whom much is given, much is expected; I think we are obligated to help our brothers and sisters in more dangerous environments.
I donate to them generously, and I keep the newsletters out in my house for my kids and guests to read. It was unreal, at first, to learn what people experience in other countries. I named my youngest daughter (now 9) Sabina, after Mrs. Wurmbrand!
We are very fortunate, but we need to learn from those who are being persecuted now, so that we can show the same overcoming faith when the persecution comes here.
