Compassion International

I love Compassion.

Our church has partnered with them for years, and we’ve seen how it helps our congregation focus on others and engage globally in tangible ways.

You may not know that in all 26 countries where Compassion works, they partner exclusively with local churches to release children from poverty in Jesus’ name. The local church is the hero.

As your church begins preparing for the holiday season and encouraging generosity, Compassion has a really cool opportunity called the Giving Tree.

It’s a simple way for your church to share the love of Jesus with children in need by decorating a tree with ornaments that represent a variety of gift options. Each gift is designed to meet a practical need for a child in poverty.

Check it out and sign up at compassion.com/GivingTree/Carey. You can request a free ornament kit from the website, set up a tree in your church lobby, and invite families to be a part of changing lives with their giving.
