Although Lights of Christmas is no longer an ongoing WorldServe program, we do maintain a Pastor Relief Fund so we can respond with compassion support to families of Chinese pastors who are imprisoned -- and we praise God that these instances are not near as frequent as they were in the past decade.

While the frequency of the stories of Chinese pastors who were imprisoned being forced to assemble Christmas lights has dwindled over the years as persecution in China has eased, once you hear this story you will never look at Christmas lights the same way again.
