Most Christians will never face imprisonment for their faith — but through the VOM App, you can stand with those who do. Built by The Voice of the Martyrs, this free app delivers daily prayer requests for persecuted believers in some of the world's most dangerous places to follow Jesus.^1
Beyond prayer, the app is a full media library: e-books and audiobooks telling stories of faith under fire, feature-length films and documentaries, VOM Radio episodes, group study materials, and resources for kids and students — all completely free.^2 Recent updates added offline downloads for content and an interactive graphic novel reader, making it easy to engage even without internet access.^3
VOM was founded in 1967 by Pastor Richard Wurmbrand, a Romanian evangelical minister who endured 14 years of Communist imprisonment and torture for his Christian witness. He and his wife Sabina built a network of offices worldwide dedicated to serving persecuted Christians.^4 VOM's 2026 Global Prayer Guide covers nearly 80 nations across restricted, hostile, and monitored categories — including Nicaragua and Honduras, newly monitored countries where persecution from corrupt governments and criminal gangs is rising.^5
Why Christians Love It"I've waited many years for an app for VOM, and for a way to not forget to pray for my persecuted brethren every single day. 'Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them.' So thank you VOM workers, for all your hard work, diligence and faithfulness." — App Store review^3
"Reading about the persecuted grows my faith and compassion in a way not completely possible before. Bless you all at VOM as you continue the Wurmbrand's legacy and help us fulfill the great commission." — App Store review^3
"VOM has opened a door for me to intercede for the Lord's people, for those who are persecuted. My heart aches for them and I wake up every morning and make intercession for the persecuted church." — App Store review^3
