2. STATE OF THE WORLD’S CHILDREN

Poverty is more than just an economic reality or a lack of material things.

It’s a relational, emotional, physical, and spiritual reality—which is the result of the brokenness of our world.

3. COMPASSION’S APPROACH

Christ-centred: We love Jesus.

Church-driven: We love the church.

Child-focused: We love children.

4. WHY SHOULD I SPONSOR A CHILD?

When you say “YES” to a child, you become part of a web of relationships around that child that chooses to invest in them.

It allows an individual child to be known, loved and protected.

5. STORIES OF TRANSFORMED LIVES…

“FROM EVERYONE WHO HAS BEEN GIVEN MUCH, MUCH WILL BE DEMANDED; AND FROM THE ONE WHO HAS BEEN ENTRUSTED WITH MUCH, MUCH MORE WILL BE ASKED.” LUKE 12:48
