Internationally Serving Leaders Who Risk Much for Jesus

Did you know? 40% of the world’s population is considered unreached. Yet, only 3% of all Christian resources go to the most needy Unreached and Persecuted. Spirit of Martyrdom is most passionate about assisting in persecuted and unreached areas because they have the greatest needs.

Martyr: Credible Witness for Jesus

Martyr comes from the Greek word martus. It means credible witness. SOM International’s theme verse is Acts 1:8: “You will be my witnesses (Martus) . . . to the ends of the Earth.”

Spirit of Martyrdom Serves the Living Martyrs

Our international leadership are “living martyrs” because their faithful and bold witness for Christ puts both their lives and their freedoms at risk. Likewise, our international network inspires us as fellow believers to lay down our lives in full surrender and obedience to God . . . with the same Spirit of Martyrdom that is exemplified in Jesus Christ.
