The Soviet Union dissolves. JTTCW increases aid to Eastern European countries. The mission shifts its emphasis to other areas, such as Laos, areas in the Middle East, Cuba, Tibet and Vietnam. Resources flow into Kazakhstan, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Nigeria, Sudan, Ethiopia and Eritrea. JTTCW is renamed The Voice of the Martyrs (VOM).

1992-93

Tens of thousands of printed materials enter restricted nations. Used Bibles and books are sent to northern Nigeria, where radical Muslims destroy hundreds of churches. Eighty thousand balloons filled with Scriptures are floated across the North Korean border. Bible distribution into China increases as officials crack down on unregistered house churches. Families victimized by a guerrilla movement in Peru also receive assistance.

1994-98

For the first time, some tribal villagers in Vietnam receive Bibles in their own language, and VOM workers broadcast gospel programs into the Middle East. The Mission Sudan project provides Bibles and daily necessities for displaced Sudanese Christians. The mission’s weekly email service, The Persecution and Prayer Alert, begins and www.persecution.net launches.
