Compassion works through more than 8,000 church partners in 25 countries. Each of these churches welcomes 100s of children and provides them with a holistic child development program. Our goal is to release children from poverty in Jesus’ name.
The holistic development program focuses on these key areas:
-
- SPIRITUAL GROWTH
-
- PHYSICAL GROWTH
-
- SOCIAL GROWTH
-
- ACADEMIC GROWTH
Every year, Compassion partners with hundreds of new churches to reach thousands more children in need. We help develop children into all God intends them to be.
Ministry partners, like Aventura at Forest Park, support the launch of new church partnerships. This gift equips each church with staff training, office equipment and classroom supplies to minister well to hundreds of children. Children enrolled with a church partner participate in weekly programming and benefit immediately from nutritious meals, fellowship with other children and a medical screening. In time, children connect with their own individual sponsor.
