Join Us This Advent

Light in the Darkness is a free Advent devotional written by Help The Persecuted Field Ministers who serve believers across the Islamic World. Our Indigenous Field Ministers live and serve in the very countries where persecution takes place, from Nigeria to Pakistan. They know firsthand what it costs to follow Jesus, and they walk alongside believers who remain faithful in the face of threats, rejection, and suffering.

Each day's devotional will guide you through Scripture, a reflection from the field, and prayer, offering an opportunity to grow in your own faith while praying alongside your persecuted family.

It begins Sunday, November 29, the first Sunday of Advent.
