We exchange our worry for the gift of peace, grief for joy, weakness for strength, and death for life. Ultimately, God is greatest gift giver.

More than 360 million Christians worldwide suffer high levels of persecution and discrimination for their faith. That’s a staggering 1 in 7 believers. According to the ministry Open Doors, the number of countries where Christians suffer high and extreme levels of persecution has almost doubled in the last 30 years. Ultimately, the world’s greatest problem – lostness – is growing every day. As believers, we have the solution to that problem – the gospel. When we pray for persecuted believers, God uses their witness to inspire gospel transformation among the lost.
