Areas where Christian persecution merits the attention and assistance of The Voice of the Martyrs has been identified and defined in two categories:Restricted Nation and Hostile Area.
Restricted Nation -
This includes countries where government policy or practice prevents Christians from obtaining Bibles or other Christian literature. Also included are countries with government-sanctioned circumstances or anti-Christian laws that lead to Christians being harassed, imprisoned, killed or deprived of possessions or liberties because of their witness.
Hostile Area -
This includes large areas in nations where governments consistently attempt to provide protection for the Christian population, but Christians are victims of violence because of their witness.

Please remember to pray for the salvation of leaders and radicals in countries where the persecution of Christians is common. Pray also for the Christians in these areas, who face hardships and dangers simply because they profess faith in Jesus Christ.
"Remember the prisoners as if chained with them--those who are mistreated--since you yourselves are in the body also." Hebrews 13:3
