Nicki Rogers

''The verse in Matthew Chapter 25 'As you do for the least of these, you do unto me' has never held such relevance to me. There is no room for self righteousness in a world where people have to live with these circumstances. If we love Jesus then we must do 'unto the least of these.' There is a world outside waiting for us to bless the one who died for us, by blessing the ones He loves. He no longer has a physical body of His own on this earth…WE ARE IT!''

"The work of Compassion in Uganda is essential. It's ability to help transform young people's lives, from kindergarten to adulthood, is immeasurable. Lives that have been born into the most difficult and hopeless of circumstances can be dramatically changed by each one of us; by me. To know that giving a little can change so much is paramount in understanding the impact of Compassion." Noel Robinson, Worship Leader.

Superhero

''It was the natural and perfectly obvious choice for us. On a personal level, having two children myself, I wanted to be involved with something to do with children. There is an extra sense of helplessness with children. Lots of people are in situations beyond their control, but with children it’s through no fault of their own. They have been let down by people who shouldn’t have done that.'' Superhero, Christian rock band.
