Ash Wednesday begins the season of Lent—a time for reflection, repentance, and renewal when Christians are invited to prepare themselves for the celebration of the Lord’s resurrection. Throughout the forty weekdays and six Sundays in Lent, pray and reflect on God’s renewing power.

Easter Week: A Liturgy for the Unreached invites you to continue in the Church’s historic rhythms, rejoicing in the risen Christ while praying for those who have yet to hear. Each day includes Scripture, historic prayer, reflection, worship, and intercession for unreached peoples — connecting resurrection hope to global mission. The empty tomb is not private hope. It is global good news. Christ is risen — and the nations will sing, “Worthy is the Lamb.”

The hope of Jesus was prophesied and earnestly expected for generations. One day, that promise of hope was fulfilled right in Israel’s midst. Everything changed for the entire world at that moment when that dream became a reality. Join us this Christmas as we look at both the promises and their fulfillment through the scriptures surrounding Jesus’ birth!
