What Do We Do?
What do we do? The short answer is, we release children from poverty in Jesus’ name. But, how else do we explain what we do?
He Is Risen!
Hallelujah! Hosanna!
After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.
There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. His…
Alive in Christ
Christ has died. And we are united with Him in his death.
I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. – Galatians…

But they shouted, “Take him away! Take him away! Crucify him!”
“Shall I crucify your king?” Pilate asked.

Jesus Takes His Coffee Black
No matter if we are giving on His behalf for someone in our own neighborhood or across the world: Jesus chooses us to demonstrate His love to those around us!
A Very Large Plank
Corrupt regimes oppress their citizens, slave traders, pimps and global corporations. Outrageous. Maddening. Deeply sad. But what corruption lives on in our own hearts?

Our Mission Statement Expanded and Explained
Our mission is our enduring purpose. It describes why we exist, what we are passionate about and what our programs are meant to accomplish. It’s summed up in the phrase, “Releasing children from poverty in Jesus’ name.”
The Deep Ache of Poverty
People weren’t meant to live in extreme poverty. And poverty isn’t something that Jesus wants us to simply understand — He wants us to feel it and to feel it deeply.
Who Needs Christ?
The poor see Jesus every day because they have nowhere else to go. Living in a wealthy society makes it very difficult to truly see Him.
They Shall Not Want
It is OK to feel forsaken. If David, Job, and Jesus did, it’s not a sin.
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.
It’s Jesus!
People join organizations with different motives. However, as they start working, they sometimes realize that their motives for joining do not drive them to their desired goals.
Five Principles for Sharing the Gospel
The most important call upon our lives is to make disciples. Whether we are Sunday school teachers, preachers, mothers, fathers, friends or co-workers, we all have been given the same mandate from the Lord to go into the world and be witnesses of Him.
It’s all too easy to let the traditions and festivities overwhelm the only reason I have anything to celebrate: The gift of the Prince of Peace, baby Jesus.

Thank You…For All You Do
Children living in poverty face daily challenges. However, through sponsorship you are providing children hope, love, the chance to succeed and the chance to know Christ.
Taking a Stand
Being a Christian is a little like standing for the Thai national anthem. When you take a stand for God, you will often look foolish to the world around you.
What Makes a Leader Strong and Tender-Hearted?
Jesus loved little children and held them in His arms. He wept at the death of His friend Lazarus. He was the very picture of a person who is strong yet tender.

Why is Jesus Excellent to You?
