Countries

The harassment and persecution of Christians is a worldwide phenomenon. Voice of the Martyrs, through its International Christian Association, works in approximately 50 countries where the Gospel is opposed, supporting those who proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ despite the personal cost.

Voice of the Martyrs is committed to supporting Christians wherever they might be found, in countries as diverse as Pakistan, China, India and the Sudan.

Defining Persecution

No nation is completely free of persecution wherever Christianity is practised. In western, democratic nations, persecution may occur randomly and spasmodically despite the assumption of religious freedom. These nations we refer to as Mostly Free. Other nations may be described as Hostile or Restricted, according to the level of persecution.
