From Letters to Hugs: Experience the Joy of a Compassion Sponsor Trip
What happens when sponsors travel across the world to meet the children they've been writing to and praying for?
In this video, follow a group of U.S. sponsors as they journey to the Philippines on a Compassion Sponsor Trip to experience Compassion's ministry firsthand.
You’ll meet Susan and Bill, who have sponsored teenager April for almost a decade; Christy, who became a sponsor after graduating college and starting her first job; and Christopher, who sponsors an astonishing 151 children.
From visiting local church partners and family homes to hearing inspiring testimonies from Compassion alumni, the group witnesses the lasting impact of sponsorship in the lives of children, families and communities.
The most unforgettable moments happen when the team finally meets their sponsored children — after months, years and, in some cases, decades of letters, prayers and support. (You may want to keep the tissues nearby!)
There’s nothing like seeing God’s work through the local church with your own eyes and meeting the child whose life you’ve been investing in. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to visit your sponsored child, we hope this video gives you a glimpse of the joy, faith and connection that make a Compassion Sponsor Trip such a life-changing experience.
