This Christmas, many of our brothers and sisters can’t celebrate freely.

Some gather quietly, some worship under threat — and some simply pray for a “normal” Christmas again.

One child in Syria, named Sako, shared a simple wish: “that we gather … visit the church and pray and worship and sing to the Lord … that we stay in peace, safety and joy.”

Because you give to LRI, persecuted believers are strengthened with practical help, encouragement, and the reminder that they are not forgotten.

Thank you for standing with them in prayer and generosity — especially at Christmas, when the Light shines in the darkness.

In His service,
