An Overwhelming Need
Today, nearly 27,000 children age 5 and younger will die of preventable causes. That's about 18 children every minute. Compassion's ministry focuses on preventing these deaths and releasing children from poverty in Jesus' name. But we can't do it without you.
By hosting a Compassion Sunday you can expand your personal ministry and help transform the lives of hundreds or even thousands of impoverished children and families worldwide. And you can be a part of it without spending a penny.
Step Into My Life
Compassion Sunday is an annual campaign that links children in need with loving sponsors. Children like Christuraj, a Compassion-assisted child who lives in the slums of India. Christuraj's story is woven throughout Compassion Sunday 2009 as we encourage churches to step into the life of a child living in poverty.
The official Compassion Sunday 2009 date is April 26, but you can choose any date that works best for your church. We provide everything you need — free of charge — and will walk you through the process from start to finish.
