The Lafayette Teen Ministry will be going to Bartlesville, OK to work at the headquar­ters of The Voice of the Martyrs. ( www.persecution.com )  VOM is responsible for helping Christians throughout the world who are being persecuted because of their faith.  We will be processing donations, packing boxes, sorting clothes, Bibles and whatever needs to be done.  We will also be learning what people across the world are having to go through to claim their faith in Christ.  This is a unique opportunity—we had to be recommended and then apply for acceptance.
