You: A Miracle Worker
At Compassion, we have one thing in common: We are all miracle workers because we are all part of this ministry that, around the globe, is preaching the good news to the poor.
Moving the Army of God to Care for a Child
In our positions as priests, servants, or soldiers in the army of God, we can protect our children from the reality of violence, poverty, and abuse — if we have the presence of God with us.
Authority that Comes from Above
The Bible teaches us that “to humans belong the plans of the heart, but from the Lord comes the proper answer of the tongue” (Proverbs 16:1).
With One Resolve
Many of the acts of Jesus were never recorded, but the healing of the lame man is found in three of the four gospels.
A Strong Partnership Is About Relationships
Partnering between the resource-rich part of the Church and the resource-poor part of the Church is not something particularly new or noble. It is just what we should do. It is simply what Paul asked the early Church to do.
His Grace: My Doorway to Compassion Ministry
Compassion is my name, my pride, my rope, and my hope for many. Joyous? Yes. Blessed? Indeed, just because of His grace.
We Need to Be Kids Again
It was not for nothing that Jesus used the example of children to show the spiritual receptivity needed to enter His kingdom.
Love and the Fiber Mat
The fiber mat was an act of love from one child to another. The memories of this wave of love in a remote village school will never be forgotten.
One and Being One
“One” means solitary, yet in contrast, “being one” means united in purpose. Individuality gives us an identity, but identifying to a common purpose takes extra effort, sacrificing individual identity to work toward common good.
Kindness at Work
Kindness and gentleness should mark all of our words, attitudes, and actions as Christians. Jesus is the epitome of kindness. We are called to be kind to one another.
What is Partnership?
Partnership is at the center of what we do at Compassion — we not only partner with you, our sponsors and donors, but also with the local church around the world. So it’s worth understanding what we mean by partnership and how we do it.
Compassion Clothing
Thirty years ago I went to Brazil as a short-term missionary with five other young adults. Little did I know how much that one decision would shape the rest of my life.
Faith Test
Many of us think we “know” what faith means. When it is time to put our faith in action, however, it’s another story.
“Lord, If You Had Come Earlier”
Jesus is quick to remind us and to demonstrate that it is never too late for God.
When it comes to sponsorship, there are a couple of ways in which Compassion Canada and Compassion USA are different, and several ways that we are the same.
Miracles of God
People may have the same purposes and goals, but it is the journey that determines the strength of a vision.
God’s Will for Us
The simple call to practice pure and undefiled religion is to serve “the least of these,” and in doing so, we are dead-center in God’s call for our lives.
Tears
Tears are a gift from God because they help us live without any facades. We are seldom more real and truthful than in the moments when our tears flow.
The Gift of Our Work
You and I have been gifted with an incredible blessing from the Lord. Today as you go about your work, be mindful of the amazing gift that you have been given.
A Spirit of Power and Love
Seeing how hard poverty hits those who have the least can rob you of peace. Does fear ever stop you from doing something?
Admitting Failure
Just as we in the developed world can’t guarantee how our children are going to “come out,” we can’t control how a child in the developing world will “come out.” We need to be free to admit “failure,” because that’s how we learn.
They Have Something
In Jesus’ time, children were not appreciated by society. Children and women were of such little value that the story of the feeding of the multitude mentions only five thousand men, overlooking the women and children completely.
As God created everyone in His own image, are we not responsible to share what we have? The boy with the fish and loaves in John 6 was willing to share everything he had as a response to the Lord’s question. He knew that five small barley loaves and two small fish would not be…
Where Is Gratitude in the Midst of Death?
How do you give thanks in the midst of overwhelming grief?
Stress Relief
Psalm 23 is loved by Jews and Christians alike. When you consider that Muslims also read the Old Testament, that means that the majority of the world’s population recognizes this passage as somehow important.
