1971-74

On May 6, 1971, the Canadian mission of JTTCW officially becomes a non-profit organization. Working out of a storefront, Nellie and the family babysitter process donations and receipts, while maintaining a mailing list and correspondence. The Voice of the Martyrs newsletters are mailed to Canadian subscribers. Klaas becomes the mission’s full-time director.

Late 1970s

JTTCW missions worldwide smuggle Bibles and literature into countries and establish secret printing presses in at least six nations, as well as gospel broadcasts into several closed countries. Workers reach out to families of martyrs. The Wurmbrand missions adopt five main purposes, variations of which are still in place today.
