Christmas Care Project - Holiday Blessings For Christians In North Africa

Christmas is a joyous time for Christians, as we reflect on God's blessings and celebrate our Savior's birth. But it can be a perilous time for many Christians, particularly those who live in regions that are hostile toward Christianity. As we make our holiday preparations and start our countdown to Christmas Day, we should remember those who are being persecuted for their faith in Jesus Christ.

Prayer and support for persecuted Christians, and fellowship with them, are important throughout the year. They are essential during the holiday season, when many Christians experience increased persecution for their beliefs.

Uprisings have spread throughout the Arab world in recent years, and attacks on North African Christians and churches have greatly increased. As we pray for God's protection over our persecuted family in Africa, may they know Jesus in a deeper, more personal way this Christmas.

The Voice of the Martyrs (VOM) helps persecuted Christians in Africa and across the globe, and we can join in the efforts. By sponsoring a Christmas Care Pack or Village Outreach Pack, we can encourage our Christian brothers and sisters at Christmas and beyond.

Would you like to bless a child this Christmas? Sponsor a Christmas Care Pack. For a $25 donation, you can give a North African child the basic essentials, such as clothing and toiletries, as well as colorful books and Bible stories to encourage his or her faith.

Each VOM Christmas Care Pack includes the following items:

• A backpack
• A new set of clothes
• Toiletry essentials
• School supplies
• Vitamins, treats, and toys
• Christian coloring books

VOM will distribute 10,000 Christmas Care Packs this holiday season. To sponsor a gift pack and bless an African child, visit the VOM website or follow this link.

A Village Outreach Pack will bless an entire village. A gift of $75 provides a small library of Christian resources to a pastor or missionary. These materials will help church leaders effectively share the gospel with those around them.

Each Village Outreach Pack includes the following items:

• Bibles
• Tracts
• Christian literature
• A DVD player
• Christian DVDs

VOM will distribute 3,000 Village Outreach Packs to North African pastors and evangelists, so they can learn more about preaching, teaching, and studying the Bible. To contribute to this project, visit the VOM website or follow this link.
