Compassion in Korea

Compassion International has a unique history originating in Korea in 1952. Compassion began in the heart of one man moved by Korean War orphans and his desire to release children from poverty in Jesus’ name.

At this moment in history with such high economic and humanitarian need, Compassion plays a key role in reaching children living in poverty and offering holistic child development. 158,030 children received Christ this past year through Compassion International, and you can contribute to this mission by offering your Korean language skills to the ministry.
