The darker a place is, the brighter light shines in that darkness. The darkness of lostness is heavy in the City of Soldiers. Pray for Christians there as they seek to celebrate and tell others of the birth of Jesus Christ. Pray that although Christmas activities are discouraged, followers of Jesus will be faithful to gather for celebrations, invite their lost family and friends, and that the light of Jesus will shine forth with the outcome being God and sinners reconciled.
