“I have learned that when you get out of your boat like Peter did, despite expecting really rough water, that Jesus promises to be there with you. It is where you are supposed to go. So, you just have to get out of the boat and let Jesus take over.” 

— Tim, Compassion Sunday host 

Like Tim, your bold act of compassion will change lives in ways you can’t even imagine.
