A Global Church Movement

Compassion is not just an organization. It is a movement of churches bringing the love of Christ to those in need. Our mission is built on a three-strand strategy: 

Christ-centered

Everything we do points to Jesus as the ultimate source of hope. 

Child-focused

We nurture children spiritually, physically and emotionally for lasting transformation. 

Church-driven

We know the local church is God’s instrument to bring lasting change to people and communities.

Your Church's Impact

Every church, no matter the size, can make an impact for the kingdom. But this is more than an external impact. We know that when we step out in generosity, God grows our faith. He can do abundantly more than we could imagine with our gifts, and we know you want your church to experience that faithfulness.

Together we can change the world – starting inside the walls of your church and beyond.

Hear From Pastors

See what our partners are saying about their relationship with Compassion. 

“Compassion has been a great friend in helping us to serve the Lord in a more effective way. I see Compassion as an on-ramp; it’s given us an opportunity share the importance of sharing with others and increasing our capacity as a church to love and look beyond our own selves. When we look at where God has brought us, it’s amazing to me what He has done. ”

“Through Compassion, we have this opportunity to go. They’re developing the church, leaders… I believe all the sponsored kids allow us to plant the gospel where the church could not otherwise go. We have a mission as a church, and that mission is to take the gospel to the ends of the world. I believe Compassion makes the gospel visible to those who don’t yet believe. And that’s what we want: for people to know Jesus. ”

“Compassion became a catalyst for the members of our congregation to want to make a difference in the world. We are sponsoring hundreds of children across the world and this partnership elevated our congregation’s awareness of our need to look outside of ourselves. And for that, I’m very, very grateful. ”
