The Impact of Your Compassion

Thank you for your unwavering support in 2018. Your gifts make it possible for the children and families we serve around the world to receive transforming care in the name of Jesus.

Compassion experienced a revenue growth of nearly 9 percent in 2018. That marks 21 years of consecutive revenue growth for our ministry. We carefully govern our spending so that, to date, more than 1.9 million babies, children and young adults around the world can be released from poverty in Jesus’ name.

In 2018, your compassion helped us serve 1.92 million children registered into our program across 7,059 frontline church partners. 1.8 million of those children were linked with caring sponsors. Those sponsors exchanged 5.63 million letters containing messages of hope and encouragement with their sponsored children.
