Do you have one of “those” stacks in the corner of your living room? YOU know the one we’re talking about. It’s on the coffee table or next to your favorite chair — it’s the pile of magazines you love but are not sure what to do with!

Magazines are fantastic. But, living in this digital age, more and more of us are decluttering our homes by opting for electronic versions of our favorite reads.

And because we want to meet you where you live, we created something special — Compassion Magazine on iPad.

Now, rest assured non-iPad users, we still offer the print and online versions of our magazine. For those who do use the iPad, this new version allows you to experience great interactive content that the print and online versions cannot. Take a look…

Compassion Magazine for iPad is free and currently available three times per year in winter (February), summer (June) and fall (October) and the latest edition is now available. To receive the iPad version of Compassion Magazine, go to:

MyAccount –> Magazine Preferences –> Check the box that says “Compassion Magazine iPad Version.”

You shouldn’t have any problems signing up for this resource, but if you do, please call us at (800) 336-7676 or send us an email at compassionmagazine@us.ci.org.

In Claire’s neighborhood, many children grow up to become prostitutes and thieves. But Claire’s story is different.

At age 16 she was given the gift of music when she received a guitar. On that day she didn’t just received the gift of a guitar, but she was given the gift to dream about who she could become.

What do we do? Well, that’s a great question!

The short answer is,

“Releasing children from poverty in Jesus’ name.”

Our ministry is Christ-centered, child-focused and church-based. But what does this really mean and how are we set apart, or different, from other child development organizations?

What is beautiful? How is beauty defined? God has made everything beautiful. And this is beauty as defined by God.

Don’t be concerned about the outward beauty of fancy hairstyles, expensive jewelry, or beautiful clothes. You should clothe yourselves instead with the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God. – 1 Peter 3:3-4 (NLT)

You are more beautiful than you know. And you are so much more than beautiful.

God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. – Genesis 1:27
