“You Said Your God Would Protect You and He Did!”
It’s an amazing story of a missionary couple in Libya who stayed there when civil war broke out. They told their Muslim neighbors that Jesus would protect them.
And when they finally did leave these Muslim neighbors praised Jesus for doing exactly what their American friends had told them Jesus would do. The story in today’s podcast!
Maybe there are people in your life who are going hard after Jesus. We’re inspired by that kind of faith.
Todd Nettleton of VOM & author of When Faith Is Forbidden shares stories of incredible faith from around the world.
The Voice of the Martyrs (VOM) serves persecuted Christians in the world’s most difficult and dangerous places to follow Christ.
These are real people with real stories of courage for Christ. Stories like the daughter whose father severely beat her and married her off to an Islamic Extremist to get her to renounce her faith.
And the couple who went to Libya to set up a gospel lighthouse and desperately needed flour to feed their baby and God provided for them in the most unexpected and generous way. And so many more stories!
The 2025 VOM Global Prayer Guide gives you specific information about each country where Christians routinely face persecution and is a powerful tool to help us pray for our persecuted brothers and sisters.
It’s 100+ pages, full color, and perfect to set beside your Bible or in your prayer room to refer to throughout the year. And VOM is making it FREE for you!

Shawna Beyer
Shawna Beyer has a way of telling stories that create personal connection— to her, to one another, and to God. She has been a homeschool mom, church planter, project lead for a consulting company, and church staff member. Though she’s been involved in ministry with her husband (Dan) in Iowa, Arizona, and now Michigan, she was born and raised in Southern California and as they say, “You can take the girl out of California . . .” She is mom to four grown kids (Bryn, Drayson, Eden, and Haven) who no longer need her but humor her anyway. Shawna is passionate about the rhythms we weave into the fabric of our lives to fall more in love with God each day. Healthy foods are her go-to, but she will abandon that whole track in a heartbeat for a homemade cinnamon roll like Grandma used to make.
