A message about this year's "Christmas Blessing" project from VOMC's International Ministry Team
Christmas Blessing 2022
This year, the Lord has graciously made it possible for VOM Canada to implement the Christmas Blessing project in several countries around the world. In partnership with local churches in North Africa, gift packages containing practical items such as Bibles, food, clothing, hygienic supplies, household necessities and toys will be provided to Christians in Morocco and Mauritania. Additionally, through VOMC’s collaboration with The Voice of the Martyrs Korea, this year’s project will bless Christians from North Korea, China, Russia, Ukraine, Ethiopia, Eritrea and Laos.
Believers living in these countries experience varying degrees of persecution for their faith in Christ, ranging anywhere from the denial of jobs, medical treatment, education, and other social services; to physical violence, arrest, imprisonment, and other forms of familial or societal pressure and ostracization.
Altogether, this year’s distribution of Christmas Blessing gift packages will bless 5,190 children and their families who have been severely affected by Christian persecution in these nations. The project will also be used as a tool for evangelism by blessing others in these countries who don’t yet know Christ as Saviour.
By extending God’s love and provision in this practical and meaningful way, we’re conveying the Good News of His ultimate “Gift” for all humankind: His one and only Son Jesus. May the Christmas Blessing gift packages be a source of tremendous encouragement and joy to our persecuted Christian family, while also serving as an opportunity to bring the hope of the Gospel to those who have yet to discover the ‘Christ of Christmas.’
