Help Christians in Orissa, India

During Christmas, Christians in the Kandhamal district of Orissa state experienced violence at a level never before seen in the region. At least 90 churches have been burned and 600 houses torched or vandalized in the attacks. Thousands of Christians have been displaced and others are still missing. The total number of Christians killed is unknown. Full details of the carnage are still uncertain since authorities are often denying church groups and fact-finding teams access to the area.

The Voice of the Martyrs in Canada is responding to the situation by working together with our partners in India in projects that will provide relief aid and support rebuilding efforts in the effected region in the coming weeks and months. You can join us in lifting up our brothers and sisters in Orissa by contributing to VOMC's Relief and Development Fund. Donations can be made online using our secure donation form or through CanadaHelps at our Donations Page.
