Ministries - Compassion International
Poverty. The message of poverty is that you don't matter. Nobody cares about you. You will never amount to anything. Compassion International seeks to break that cycle by reaching out to the little children before hopelessness sets in.
Visiting Compassion Projects, you are struck with the joy on the faces of the children. It is hard to believe, but it is true. People who know God's love and have nothing of this world's goods, often discover riches which we miss in our material abundance.
Sponsorship not only helps the child, but God has a blessing waiting for us the sponsor. The book of James says the rich have joy because God has shown them that real riches are not in "things" that parish.
Through sponsorships of $32/month, children are offered education, health care, food, clothes, and most importantly...a chance to know that God loves them.
There are many organizations that seek to help the poor. What makes Compassion unique? They empower more than 2900 local mission churches in 23 of the poorest places in the world by providing these churches with guidance, finances, and supervision to establish and run Compassion's holistic program. It is Christ-centered, church-based, child-focused, with accountability and integrity.
