Voice of the Martyrs

Voice of the Martyrs was founded by Richard Wurmbrand in 1967. A Romanian Jew and Christian pastor, Wurmbrand withstood 14 years of horrific torture for his faith by the Romanian Communists before being freed and expelled to the United States, where he founded the Voice of the Martyrs.

Today, Voice of the Martyrs and the many organizations affiliated with Voice of the Martyrs are active in about 50 countries, caring for, equipping, supporting and encouraging persecuted Christians, which includes Bible placement.

Strength

Voice of the Martyrs does a very good job of gathering and disseminating information about persecution of Christians around the world.

Weakness

Some of Voice of the Martyrs' projects prioritize fundraising over efficiency and are relatively expensive. Bibles Unbound, discussed earlier and the more recent "prayer bands" serve as examples.*

(* It should be noted that Voice of the Martyrs' relatively expensive projects, Open Door's aggressive money requests and Bible League's exaggerations wouldn't be needed if Christians in the free world gave more and directed a greater proportion of their giving to their causes, which are far more urgent and biblical than church building mortgages, social programs and other non-urgent and/or less-than-Biblical expenditures.)
