Your Compassion Date in 2008

An Overwhelming Need

Every three seconds a child under age 5 dies from poverty-related causes that Compassion's ministry is skilled at preventing. But it takes only one voice — yours — to fight poverty.

By hosting a Compassion Sunday event, you can expand your personal ministry and help transform the lives of hundreds or even thousands of impoverished children and families worldwide. And you can be a part of it without spending a single cent.

Reversing the Tide

It all starts by being willing to "speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves" and "defend the rights of the poor and needy" (Proverbs 31:8-9) and by hosting a Compassion Sunday event at your church. Compassion Sunday is an annual national campaign that links impoverished children with loving sponsors. Last year's campaign resulted in nearly 21,000 new child sponsorships. With your help, we hope to surpass this number again this year. It's the perfect way to answer God's call to help the poor and needy children.

The official Compassion Sunday 2008 date is April 13, but you can host an event any day of the year that works best for your church. We provide, free of charge, everything you need and will walk you through the simple process from start to finish. Hosting a Compassion Sunday event is easier than ever. Want to get started? Follow this simple three-step process:

Order your Planning Folder
Plan your Compassion Sunday
Order your Compassion Sunday event materials

Open your heart and help find sponsors for children in need. Discover the deep fulfillment and sense of purpose that comes from making a genuine difference in children's lives by hosting a Compassion Sunday event.

Don’t Want to do it Alone?

There are almost 2000 advocate volunteers like myself in the USA who are willing to come to YOUR church and share the Compassion ministry with your congregation. Again, there are no fees involved whatsoever; we just simply want to save the lives of children and in the name of Jesus.

Hi, I followed the link from the comment you left on LC's blog about compassion. I see that you are sponsoring some children in Uganda. Do you have more on your site about that? We were there in November due to affiliation with two "charities" we are affiliated with. One of them is a secondary school in Uganda primarily for AIDS orphans who would otherwise get no education.
Keep up the good work.
