Voice of the Martyrs is making it possible for American Christians -- without leaving their homes -- to get the Word of God into the hands of fellow believers in persecuted nations. Just a few "mouse clicks" and a few dollars a month make it all possible.

For nearly a year now, Voice of the Martyrs has made it possible for Christians to get Bibles to other nations through its "Bibles Unbound" program. Those who take part receive five or more New Testaments each month, along with the addresses of Christians in other countries who are in need of Bibles. Supporters can participate in an "operation" in one of four countries where believers are gathering names and addresses from their community.

VOM spokesman Todd Nettleton says the initiative makes it easy to get God's Word into the hands of believers in persecuted countries -- and the program appears to be achieving its objective.

"As of right now, we've mailed over a 100,000 New Testaments into restricted nations like China, like Egypt, like Columbia and Indonesia," says Nettleton. "At this point, we have more than 17,000 New Testaments being mailed every single month."

For a monthly donation of $30, Bibles Unbound sends participants five New Testaments each month, along with everything needed for getting the Word to Christians in persecuted nations. "The Voice of the Martyrs provides the New Testaments, the envelopes, the shipping labels -- and all the postage [for mailing to the restricted nation] is included," he explains. The packages prepared by the donors are then returned to a "re-mail" center for transport to their final destination.
