Christmas is a season of worship and celebration. It's a time to join with others in expressions of love and gratitude while rejoicing over God's greatest gift: the birth of His Promised Son, Jesus Christ. As we reflect on the wondrous birth of our loving Saviour, may we also turn our hearts and minds to the many believers who are unable worship Him so openly; those who must celebrate the coming of Christ in secret. In some areas of the world, Christmas may even be a time of increased persecution.

Thank you for prayerfully remembering our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ during this Christmas season. We, here at Voice of the Martyrs Canada, extend to you our sincere appreciation for partnering with us in prayer, friendship and giving throughout this past year. All of us wish you and your loved ones a wonderfully blessed Christmas. May it be filled with peace, joy and steadfast faith in “Emmanuel” – "God with Us"!
