Spirit of Martyrdom International
Serving the Living Martyrs
The SOM International network consists of kindred-hearted national leaders who assist each other to advance the Gospel. These leaders have a “spirit of martyrdom” . . . they trust God to lead them in effective outreach as they live in restricted and hostile regions. These leaders are the “boots on the ground.” They are a credible witness of Jesus Christ and have much faith by leading lives of courage. They are leaders who are discipling other leaders. The regions they serve have limited or no access to the Word of God.
“You will be my witnesses [martus] . . . to the ends of the earth.” —Acts 1:8.
40% of the world’s population is considered unreached and has never heard about Jesus.
Only 3% of all the money given to missions goes to those who are unreached.
100% of designated funds given to SOM International goes to supporting leaders serving in the riskiest and most unreached areas in the world.
