These men and women minister in some of the most dangerous places to follow Christ, and are often the first responders when Christian persecution happens. You will hear updates from Myanmar, Laos, and North Korea, places where following Jesus can mean losing everything. Between political unrest, spiritual oppression, pressure from local leaders, economic retaliation and rejection from family, believers in this region are squeezed on every side. Yet, as Carter shares, Christians in these nations remain steadfast and faithful, unshaken despite immense pressure. The VOM App\u00a0for your smartphone or tablet will help you pray daily for persecuted Christians\u2014in Iran and other nations\u2014throughout the year, as well as provide\u00a0free\u00a0access to e-books, audiobooks, video content and feature films. Download the VOM App for your\u00a0iOS\u00a0or\u00a0Android device today."}
