As our persecuted brothers and sisters face persecution and oppression from Islamists in places like Iraq, Sudan, Nigeria and Syrian refugee camps, you can help provide them with basic medical and personal-care items they need.
You can order Family Med Pack Kits for $10 each and fill the packs with your church group, friends or family. Each kit includes the following:
- Instructions, with a list of items to include in your pack
- Pack-building materials
- A sticker to help you share your passion for our persecuted family
- A return mailer and shipping label
VOM workers will distribute your Family Med Pack to a persecuted Christian family that has suffered from extremist violence.
