Because His presence gives us hope even amid suffering!
Share this joy with persecuted families this Christmas…
We live in a broken world, and with technology giving us constant access to the rest of the world, 
it can sometimes feel overwhelming.
The weight of this can leave us feeling anxious, weary and discouraged. Amid it all, it’s easy to lose sight of a beautiful truth:
We have Immanuel, God with us, even here.
Our hope is not found in a world without suffering, but in a Saviour who entered a broken world to be with us.
This Christmas, we’re reminded of the incredible gift of Jesus Christ, our Saviour, born to bring us freedom from sin and the promise of eternal life with Him, free of suffering.
While we celebrate this Good News, there are persecuted children and families around the world who face hardship, uncertainty and suffering because they follow Jesus.
Faith and joy that persecution cannot take…
“One day, I dressed up to go to church, and on the way my uncle met me. He beat me then forced me to go back home. Despite the trials, I persevered because I wanted to follow and serve the Lord. I continued to go to church, joyfully, to hear God’s Word.”
Aicha (12), who was beaten by her uncle for attending church, Burkina Faso
“If you live in a safe country, you can attend church whenever you wish. My mom forbids me from going to church by myself. I say to you, ‘Have faith,’ because faith is the most powerful thing in life. It cannot be defeated. Once you believe in Him, you become strong in every aspect. Nothing can defeat you. Those who are weak become strong.”
Elie (9), survivor of Damascus church bombing, Syria
“In the very day when the world proclaims the good news of Jesus’ birth, the youngest members of the Iranian Church remain among its quietest voices. When everything around you feels uncertain, Christmas reminds us that God has not forgotten us.”
8-year-old Rayan’s* mother, on life amid war, Iran
