Compassion International

There’s another organization I want to tell you about, a ministry that I have loved for years, and that’s Compassion International.

Compassion is an incredible organization whose goal is to release children from poverty in Jesus’ name.

They currently serve over 2 million children ​and their families in some of the most poverty-stricken areas of the world and here is my favorite part: ​All of this is happening in local churches.

Compassion is all about equipping the local church so every single child is cared for by a leaders in their community.

As a pastor, I found Compassion to be a strategic part of our global missions strategy. And so, as a church, we incorporated Compassion into our focus on Guatemala.

Compassion made it easy for everyone in our church to put their faith in action by caring for a child in need. I would encourage any pastor listening to learn more about Compassion.

You can help equip local churches around the world while seeing your church grow in the process. Visit compassion.com/church to learn how.
