Persecution Blog Calls Attention to Plight of Persecuted Christians Around the World
Christian ministry Voice of the Martyrs has begun a blog to share news and information about Christian persecution around the globe. The purpose of the blog is to call attention to the plight of Christians who are being persecuted for their faith.
Christian non-profit ministry Voice of the Martyrs (VOM), in partnership with
marketing agency Web Direct Advertising, has started a blog focused on the
plight of Christians across the globe who are being persecuted for their faith.
Called the Persecution Blog (www.persecutionblog.com), the web log provides daily updated
news and information about persecuted Christians in countries such as Egypt,
Pakistan, and China. It also attempts to focus the attention of Christians in
the US and abroad on the peril fellow believers face daily in many third-world
countries.
"We hope the Persecution Blog will become the central online
point for the expression of ideas about the persecuted church,” said Todd
Nettleton, Director of News Services for Voice of the Martyrs. He added, “As so
many are thinking, writing, reading and learning about the persecuted church, we
believe the natural outflow will be to pray more often and more fervently, and
to seek ways of blessing our persecuted brothers and sisters around the
world."
Regarding the use of web log technology to help communicate Voice
of the Martyr’s message, Web Direct CEO Steve Cleary said, "As an owner of a
marketing firm, I understand the need to always be on the cutting edge of
technology maximizing its potential for the dissemination of the client's
message. Blogging is quickly becoming one of the most cost effective ways of
doing this."
Web Direct contracted business blog consulting firm Radiant
Marketing Group (www.radiantmarketinggroup.com) to design and build the blog,
oversee blog marketing efforts and provide training to the blogger. The firm
chose as its blogger for the project Stacy Harp, a committed Christian and
veteran blogger with deep roots in the Christian blogging community.
Information is updated on the blog several times each day. Though still
in its early stages, the site is becoming a popular clearinghouse of information
on the persecuted church. To date there is nothing else like it on the Internet.
Voice of the Martyrs (www.persecution.com) is a non-profit, interdenominational
organization with a vision for aiding Christians around the world who are being
persecuted for their faith in Christ, fulfilling the Great Commission, and
educating the world about the ongoing persecution of Christians.
VOM is
headquartered in Bartlesville, Oklahoma with thirty affiliated international
offices.
Web Direct Advertising (www.webdirectadvertising.com) facilitates revenue on the
Internet via direct response marketing. The company specializes in creating
custom tailored campaigns to meet and exceed individual client goals and
needs.
