Light Up the Darkness

The Voice of the Martyrs’ 2023 IDOP short feature film, Sejun: Nepal, tells the story of a Nepali boy’s journey from life in a Buddhist monastery as a preschooler to finding new hope in Christ.

Over his nine-year stay in the monastery, Sejun experienced the darkness of Buddhism at the hands of those who supervised him. When he ran away from the monastery at age 13, his family did not welcome his return. His father enrolled him in first grade since his only schooling had been studying Buddhist scriptures, and Sejun was ashamed about being so much older than his classmates. In primary school, however, Sejun met a godly teacher who shared the light of Christ with him.

You and your family, group, class or church can experience meaningful worship by watching this short video and then praying for our Christian brothers and sisters who are willing to pay any price to see Buddhists set free by the power of the gospel.

Use and share these resourcesin person or online with your church, class or group throughout November.

Help your church pray for our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ with a bulletin insert featuring several prayer suggestions. These bookmarks are ideal for use in your Bible, where they’ll serve as a reminder to pray for persecuted believers every time you open God’s Word. Share them with your church or small group as an encouragement to pray regularly for persecuted Christians.

Encourage prayer throughout the year with this cloth banner, which you can hang in your church as a reminder to pray for persecuted Christians in restricted nations and hostile areas.

Pray more specifically for persecuted Christians as they serve the Lord on dangerous and difficult mission fields. This useful guide includes information on each of the restricted nations and hostile areas where VOM serves fellow members of Christ’s body.
