Compassion Connects with the Local Church: I Never Knew That

By March 12, 2011Church, Missions

Did you know Compassion International connects with the local church? Through their child development program and child sponsorship program, Compassion runs its ministry through a local, Bible-believing, Christian church.  I never knew that.

This week I’ve been with a group of pastors learning more about Compassion International in Ecuador. With every project we visited we went to a local church, met the pastor, and saw firsthand the impact the church and Compassion are having on the community. We saw adults who were children in the program, who now are reinvesting into other Compassion children…through the local church.

When you sponsor a child, they are partnered with a local church, with a pastor, and ministries, and an opportunity to minister to them beyond just the ministry of Compassion!

As a local church pastor, I love that vision!  Did you know that? ]

    I knew before I ever sponsored a child (I have 2) that Compassion works with the local church. I'm not sure how many child sponsor organizations can say that.

    Yeah Ron, my wife and I had the opportunity about 5 years ago to visit compassion projects in Rwanda, Africa and saw that that is the only way they do it. Now if we would copy that here in the states I bet we could REALLY get some things accomplished!
