At Compassion, "Jesus loves the little children" is central in everything we do.

What does "Jesus loves the little children" mean to Compassion? 

The phrase "Jesus loves the little children" has a special meaning at Compassion. A visit to our Global Ministry Center in Colorado Springs will provide you with a wonderful opportunity to see how much Jesus loves the little children and learn how Compassion is rescuing children in need. You can even enjoy a life-size interactive sculpture of Jesus as He welcomes you into our lobby.

Our devotion to the fact that Jesus loves the little children comes from our founder Rev. Everett Swanson. In 1952, after seeing poverty-stricken children in war-torn Korea, Rev. Swanson created our ministry to provide these war orphans with food, shelter, education and health care, as well as Christian training. Today Compassion helps more than 900,000 children in 24 countries.
