“Recognizing that the greatest poverty a child can face is a life without Jesus, Compassion is sharing the gospel with these children,” said Jud Wilhite, author of Eyes Wide Open and senior pastor of Central Christian Church Las Vegas. “Plus, they serve kids around the world through local churches so the local church and community also benefits.” Printed in http://www.coloradoconnection.com/news/news_story.aspx?id=291056
“I sponsor two little girls from Uganda, because I have seen firsthand how Compassion has assisted in raising children to be solid, confident, Christian adults. Everywhere I went in Uganda, they would comment on how much Compassion has made a difference in their country. . . . I am honored and humbled to be a part of making a difference in a child’s life.”

“Our church now sponsors over 400 children in Tanzania through Compassion International. Their child sponsorship process is a key ingredient that has allowed us to come alongside to serve the African Church in a number of different ways. Over a dozen of our members have visited their Compassion child while on short-term journeys. This has had an incredible impact on our church.”

“Our two Compassion Sundays have been true highlights for our Body. Over 800 children have been sponsored by members of our church and their pictures hang on a wall in our lobby. This was a practical application to a sermon on the believer’s need to have a heart for those less fortunate than we are. The Compassion people have always been above reproach and at the same time easy to approach with questions and needs. I recommend their ministry fully!”

“Working with Compassion will enable every member of your congregation to experience their part of fulfilling the Great Commission. I know of no better foreign missions ministry program that facilitates the need of every member in the local church to participate directly in world evangelism and care for the poor.”
