field_542d817a101fb — The Voice of the Martyrs

Since 2002, Petr Jašek has worked with The Voice of the Martyrs (VOM) to help aid and assist persecuted Christians in hostile and restricted nations. In December 2015, Petr’s life changed dramatically when he was arrested at the airport in Khartoum, Sudan, after meeting with Christians there to evaluate how VOM could best serve them. Petr became a prisoner himself, needing VOM’s help for himself and his family. Petr was convicted of espionage and sentenced to life imprisonment, before the Czech government negotiated his release in February 2017. Throughout Petr’s 445 days in prison, VOM and Christians around the world stood with his family through prayer and other means of support. When Petr was released from prison, he returned to his wife, Wanda, and two grown children in the Czech Republic.
