Dear Friend, In 2018, Pastor Aung Tun Oo was accused of “denigrating Buddhism” in Myanmar, and since then he has fought an extended legal battle. During a Christmas program, Pastor Aung Tun Oo gave a presentation on the meaning of Christ’s earthly birth, death and resurrection. Although he did not mention Buddhism in the presentation, several Buddhist monks took offense and reported him to authorities. Since the charges were filed, the pastor has been summoned to court 64 times! Thanks to the support of friends like you, VOM has provided support for him and his family during the long legal battle. “It is at times very discouraging for us,” he said. “But whenever we are discouraged, the Lord reminds us that it is not because of our foolishness or for doing anything wrong that we are facing this legal issue. It is for preaching the gospel and obediently following God’s command.” VOM provides help for Christians who have suffered persecution in hostile areas and restricted nations, like Pastor Aung Tun Oo, as well as for the families of Christians imprisoned or killed because of their witness. This help is provided to meet immediate needs in the aftermath of a persecution event and to meet ongoing or long-term needs, such as living expenses, children’s educational needs, relocation within a nation, legal assistance or vocational training. Please consider giving to support these courageous believers as they are persecuted for their faith in Christ. You can give online now! In Christ,  Jeremy Burton Vice President, Connection The Voice of the Martyrs
