Position Description
The Voice of the Martyrs Canada (VOMC), located in Oakville, ON, is seeking a qualified candidate to fill a permanent, full-time position for the mission’s Manager of Ministry Advancement.
ABOUT US
VOMC’s existence is based upon the message its international founder, Pastor Richard Wurmbrand, carried to the West from persecuted church leaders in other parts of the world: “Don’t abandon us, don’t forget us, and don’t write us off. Instead, give us the tools we need, for we are willing to pay the price for using them” (Wurmbrand, Richard. Tortured for Christ: 50th Anniversary Edition. David C. Cook, 2017. p. 162.)
VOMC not only encourages fellow Canadians to pray on behalf of Christians facing difficult situations of persecution, but to also come alongside those living in closed regions of the world (areas that are hostile and restricted to the Gospel) by providing them the tools that are necessary to deliver the ‘gift of Christ’ to their neighbours.
For more than five decades now, VOMC has been actively remembering and serving the church persecuted. By collaborating with credible International Ministry partners, every project undertaken by VOMC seeks to fulfill the Great Commission in the spirit of the Great Commandment. This vision also drives the ministry’s various domestic outreaches, a means of further encouraging Canadian Christians to pursue lives of sacrifice and obedience.
The ministry’s purposes remain:
- To encourage and empower persecuted Christians to fulfill the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20).
- To provide practical relief and spiritual support to the families of Christian martyrs (Matthew 25:36).
- To equip persecuted Christians to love and win to Christ those who are opposed to the Gospel (Romans 12:14).
- To help believers rebuild their lives and Christian witness in countries where they have formerly suffered oppression (Nehemiah 1:3; 2:5).
- To promote the fellowship of all believers by informing the world of the faith and courage of persecuted Christians, thereby inspiring believers to a deeper level of commitment to Christ and involvement in His Great Commission (Hebrews 13:3; Galatians 6:2).
