The Cries of the Martyrs: Stories of Faith & Sacrifice

The Missionary Who Died for Korea | The Story of Robert Jermain Thomas

What if one man's final act of faith changed the spiritual future of an entire nation? In this episode of Cries of the Martyrs, we travel to Korea in the late 1800s to tell the incredible true story of Robert Jermain Thomas—a young Welsh missionary who risked everything to bring the Gospel to one of the most closed nations on earth. Aboard the General Sherman, Robert carried Bibles instead of weapons. Though his mission ended in martyrdom, God wasn't finished writing the story. The pages of his Bible found their way into Korean homes, where they were read, treasured, and used by God to help ignite the spread of Christianity across Korea. Though his voice was silenced, his story still cries out. 🎙️ Presented by Battlefront 5:11 Studios Follow Cries of the Martyrs 🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3rVSLfGYy4GkTIXCWahmjZ ▶️ YouTube: https://youtube.com/@criesofthemartyrs 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/criesofthemartyrspodcast 🎵 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@the.cries.of.the Follow Battlefront 5:11 🌲 Linktree: https://linktr.ee/Battlefront511podcast [https://linktr.ee/Battlefront511podcast] If you enjoy these stories, please consider following the show, sharing this episode, and leaving a review.

Leah Sharibu: The Girl Who Refused to Deny Christ

On February 19, 2018, armed militants stormed a school in Dapchi, Nigeria, abducting more than one hundred girls. Weeks later, nearly all of them were released. One girl remained. Her name was Leah Sharibu. At just 14 years old, Leah was given a choice: renounce Jesus Christ and go home, or remain in captivity. She chose Christ. In this episode of Cries of the Martyrs, we tell the remarkable story of a young Nigerian girl whose faith has inspired believers around the world. From her childhood in Dapchi to the day she stayed behind to help a sick classmate, Leah's story is a powerful reminder that faithfulness often shines brightest in the darkest places.
