How Compassion is using child evangelism to end child poverty

In 2004 when Compassion began partnering with churches in Burkina Faso to engage in child evangelism, Pastor Yacouba Sanon and his church saw the answer to prayer. It wasn't long before the church established the Christian Mission Alliance Child Development Center (BF-450) and quickly registered children to become involved in child evangelism in order to end child poverty.

Church staff received training on child evangelism, child development, creating age-appropriate Bible curriculum, and education about helping children. "They blossom when they're here," Yacouba says. "When you compare them to other children not in the project, it's a big difference. This program gives them hope and hope for their families."
