Christian children in hostile areas and restricted nations around the world are often mistreated within their communities and face great challenges because of their faith. In some countries, they are specifically targeted for persecution or forced conversion, and they quickly learn the cost of following Christ.

The Voice of the Martyrs works through its global network of front-line workers to bring Christmas Care Packs to children in hostile areas and restricted nations.

Christmas Care Packs are tailored to the specific needs of children in the different regions where they are delivered. The packs include items like school supplies, clothing, hygiene items, a toy, and Christian literature. Every child also receives a full-color, illustrated children’s Bible in the appropriate language. For most of these children, it is the first Bible they have ever received!

Sponsor a Christmas Care Pack today and bless the youngest members of our persecuted Christian family this Christmas.
