Christians in restricted nations are cut off from the resources of the Body of Christ, particularly from Bibles and Christian literature, but also practical and material resources that facilitate ministry. Through its covert and specialised operations, Voice of the Martyrs empowers and equips persecuted believers by providing Bibles, Bible translations, training programs, Christian literature, aids for evangelism, radio broadcasts, vehicles, motorbikes and bicycles, computers for translation work, printing equipment, audio/video cassettes, tapes, CDs, and DVDs audio and video equipment, a variety of electronic equipment, musical instruments, and other practical supplies like life packs, mosquito nets, medical supplies, and equipment for underground churches (which may be as simple as a kerosene lamp).
