Christian Child Sponsorship

Sponsor a Child in Need with Compassion

More than 50 years ago, American evangelist Rev. Everett Swanson went to a foreign land and found his Christian purpose. He found it among the dozens of abandoned Korean orphans lying in the streets, steeped in poverty with no one to help them. Swanson turned compassion into action and his legacy of helping children find a path out of poverty through Christian child sponsorship continues today in the ministry of Compassion International.

Today, Compassion helps more than 728,000 children in 20 countries through Christian child sponsorship Find out how you can forever change a child’s future by following the links below.
