The Voice of the Martyrs - The Promise and Hope of Christmas

Child smiling
The promise and hope of Christmas…
…is knowing Jesus is the true reason for the season throughout all the nations of the world.

As we celebrate the birth of Christ this Christmas season, I want to thank you for continuing to stand with persecuted Christians around the world through your prayers, actions and generous giving.

Christmas can be a time when Christians living in hostile areas and restricted nations are at increased risk. Enemies of the gospel know Christians are gathering to celebrate together the birth of our Savior. Please pray for the safety of our family members around the world during this Christmas season.

Have mercy, O God, upon persecuted Christians everywhere
who are willing to suffer the consequences for speaking
your name in word and deed, in truth and in love.
Grant strength and courage with joy to all who
dare to live their convictions out loud.
Amen.

Many blessings to you and your loved ones this Christmas.

Joyfully,
