Today, more than 500 people are serving in church and event settings to advocate on behalf of children living in extreme poverty. Each of these advocates are being developed and discipled in the skills and calling that has been placed on their lives. Say yes to becoming a Compassion advocate, and you too can join this movement of those using their skills, calling and passions to make a difference.
What our volunteers say...
Every child sponsored brings a life changing opportunity, both for the child and their family - it's like the account of Jesus multiplying the loaves and fishes! It is a great privilege and very humbling to be a small part of what He's doing through Compassion.
