Compassion International

I want to also 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 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/Carey to learn how.

Lead With Confidence and Clarity. Grow Your Church.

As leaders, we tend to see the challenges and roadblocks before other people do.

We've all been there before...

You need to refresh your vision for the future but know that change will be an issue for that person.
You're overstaffed (or missing a key role) and can't find the right person to fill the role.
You aren't reaching enough new people even though you've tried everything that's working for other churches.
You can see the issue but aren't confident in what to do about it.

And with another Sunday morning coming up, it'll just have to wait until next week when you have a few minutes to figure it out.

Now ask yourself this:

What would it feel like to have those answers at your fingertips 24/7?

Whether it's reaching new people, improving your preaching, increasing volunteers, refreshing your vision, engaging your staff, or any of the countless challenges we face as church leaders, The Art of Leadership Academy will equip you to lead your church with confidence and clarity.

Between comprehensive church leadership courses, live coaching calls, staff and volunteer training resources, and direct access to a private online community of senior-level church leaders, you'll get the exact insights and answers that fuel your church for growth.
