We have a lot to be thankful for here at Compassion. We get to work with amazing kids all around the world. And we also have the best partners in that work!
In no particular order, here are the top five people we couldn’t do ministry without!
5. The tutors
At only 17, Meryl tutors the younger children in math at her child development center.
Did you know that many Compassion tutors are volunteers? They spend hours with the kids you sponsor, helping with homework and letter writing. They take their jobs seriously – some even walk kids home through dangerous neighborhoods! Their ministry is vital to the children we serve together.
4. The pastors
21-year-old Oscar Torres went from being sponsored in our program to being the pastor of one of our church partners in Nicaragua. He gets to help more children just like him.
You know that we work through local churches. And that means that we need pastors to believe in the ministry of Compassion. Because when a pastor gets on board, the entire congregation does! Many of the pastors at our church partners are very hands-on, leading Bible studies and even handing over the pulpit some Sundays to let Compassion students preach!
3. The cooks
Known as cucu (grandmother) to the students, Monica Mwihaki has been cooking meals for 25 years at her Compassion center in Kenya.
Yes, the cooks definitely get their own slot on our gratitude list! Like the tutors, many are volunteers. And they LOVE those kids! They spend hours preparing hot, nutritious meals and snacks, and find incredible joy in meeting this basic, life-giving need of each child they serve!
2. The parents and caregivers
In Indonesia, Silfia and her parents Yonike and Ismael pose with the pictures they keep on their wall of Silfia’s sponsors from Australia.
When a parent gets on board with releasing children from poverty in Jesus’ name, that’s when things really take off. Through sponsorship, you are getting to partner with these parents, relieving some of the stress of being a parent in poverty, and restoring a sense of joy in their homes. We love it when parents take literacy and parenting classes, because then we know that a happy home helps produce a happy child.
1. YOU!
You knew that you were going to be on our list! We’re grateful for your partnership in this ministry. Your support means everyone else in this list gets to love on, serve and pour into children in poverty around the world.
So now it’s your turn! What are you grateful for this Thanksgiving season? Spread the gratitude by leaving a comment below!

The day I decided to become a sponsor, was the day I promised the Lord to do all I can to help those in need. I am so thankful that HE has given me the health and strength to be able to do so. You see, all I have belongs to Him. I am also thankful for my sponsored children. I enjoy hearing from them. God bless you keep up the good work.
I’m thankfully for my parents improved health this year, they were both 86 in 2018, praise our God for his answer to prayer. I praise God for the food he provides for everyone.
I am absolutely nothing, and I give all thanks and glory to God for giving me the resources to help those in need. I am awe of God, and it’s such a blessing to see these beautiful children’s lives being changed.
I pray that God will receive full glory through this ministry.
God bless you all!

Thank you so much for this wonderful program. Nothing is more important than sharing Jesus with these beautiful children. The video is wonderful.
We were blessed to have our two daughters, Cheryl and Kim, at home with us with their families. Cheryl has two children and three stepchildren. Two of the stepchildren are married and we are blessed with three beautiful great granddaghters, Syndney, Scarlet and Thea. Sydney and Scarlet live in Florida but Thea and her parents were here for Thanksgiving. Cheryl’s two children are here in town with us Macey is a sophomore in college studying medicine and Hunter is a Senior in high school. He plays on the baseball team and they won the state championship last year so we are hopeful for another great year.
Our daughter, Kim, has three children. Trevor is a Strength Training Coach for Akron University football team, Jay is out of school and works fulltime and Caitlyn is 11 years old in 5th Grade and smart as a whip.
I work 30-40 hours a week and my husband is retired an stays at home. He is the lucky one. We attend church at First Christian near our home and have just sponsored another little girl for their program.
We trusly hope you have a blessed Christmas and much good fortune in the coming year. Stay true to the word of God and keep Jesus in your heart. We will keep you in our prayers.
With Love,
Jerry and Donna Sulzbach

I would like to know how I can send photos of myself and my 5 adult kids to my sponsered child. ?If so Ineed an email addresss bt which to sendthemto Brayan. Thanks you, Donna Bruce
Hi Donna! The easiest way to send your photos would be to send them along with a letter through your online account. Through the “Write My Child” link on the left side of the screen, you can go through the steps of writing a letter to your child. The third step of the process includes adding photos to the letter itself or to two additional photo pages that will be included with your letter when it is printed out and delivered to your child.
Thanks to all the wonderful individuals who make this program run. So many families are saved by this program, God’s will is being done.

It has been a privilege to support and pray for Mary Grace for over 10 years now. To God be the glory!!
I think in the 33 years that we’ve been sponsoring about 9 children, it has proved to be more a blessing to us than even to the children. It has been a glue that holds OUR family together as our daughter and son are now requesting to join our yearly Christmas tradition of giving through the Christmas catalog rather than receiving gifts from one another.
Wonderful video. Wonderful children. Wonderful ministry. Thankful to play a small part in all of it.
