Once you have talked with your pastor, set your Compassion Sunday date, and ordered your materials, Compassion has a wealth of downloadable online resources to enhance the Compassion Sunday experience for you and your church. The first two resources you will want to take advantage of are:

1. Compassion Sunday Training and Presentation Video
   View a portion of this informative video right now. Or order the complete video and you'll get all the training you need to host a successful Compassion Sunday event. It includes a variety of segments about Compassion and the Child Sponsorship Program, and compelling testimonies from Luis Palau and other child advocates that you can show at your event.
   
2. Compassion Sunday PowerPoint Presentation
   This downloadable PowerPoint presentation artfully blends the scripture of Matthew 25:35-36 with music to explain Compassion's Child Sponsorship Program, while encouraging viewers to listen to God's call to help those in need.
