Todd Nettleton is vice president of message for the Voice of the Martyrs-USA.  Todd is also host of The Voice of the Martyrs Radio.  In his position, he serves as a voice for persecuted Christians, inspiring Christians with the faithfulness of Christ’s followers in over 70 nations where they face persecution for wearing His name.  During more than 25 years serving at VOM, Todd has traveled the world and conducted face-to-face interviews with hundreds of Christians who’ve endured persecution in more than 30 nations.  He is the author of When Faith is Forbidden: 40 Days on the Frontlines with Persecuted Christians.

Others bring comfort when they pray for you.  However, when was the last time you prayed for the persecuted church?  There are many who suffer on account of their faith in Jesus Christ.  Some are behind bars, some have received physical beating, some are being denied a place to live or a job to earn a living, while others are cast out of their family.  Like you, such individuals are greatly encouraged when they know other believers are praying for them.

This is the focus of this Crosstalk as we approach the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church.  Some churches will be participating this Sunday November 2, while others will participate the following Sunday.  Regardless of the date, it’s important for us to be praying for those suffering on account of their faith in Christ.

So don’t miss this broadcast as Todd had much to talk about as he answered the following questions: 

• How widespread is persecution against Christians?  





• What exactly is the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church?  





• What goes on when Islamists attack Christians?





• What do we know about the American missionary pilot that was kidnapped in Niger?





• What is the current persecution situation in China and South Asia?  

There’s more to glean from this program, including how to obtain free resources that can help you make a difference for those being persecuted around the world.
