Compassion International is an evangelical, Christian child development
ministry that exists to release children from poverty in Jesus name. With
programs now in 26 countries, Compassion works through the local church to
equip children for the future by providing for their spiritual, physical,
economic and social needs.
Compassion
has distinctives they call the Four C's:
·
Christ-centered
·
Child-focused
·
Church-based
·
Committed
to integrity
At
all levels, Compassion seeks holistic child development. Their programs offer
educational opportunities, health care, health-related instruction, supplemental
nutrition, life-skills training and opportunities to hear and respond to the
gospel. One of the things I love the most about Compassion is its ability to
offer so many ways to partner with them in releasing children from poverty in
Jesus name. It is known for its child sponsorship program and it is the thrust
of Compassions mission and ministry but it is so much more. Just take a look!
