In a nutshell it is an opportunity for you to speak up for those that cannot speak for themselves and use the platform God has entrusted you with to connect a child in need with a loving sponsor. One of the beauty’s of it is it will not only impact the sponsored child, but it will greatly bless and impact those that become sponsors.
A Compassion Weekend can be done anytime during the year on a day that best works with your church schedule. Through programming and preaching you can create an experience to encourage your church body to embrace God's mandate by serving the world's physically and spiritually hungry children. Then you can provide the opportunity to turn love into action by rescuing children from poverty through sponsorship.
When you register for a Compassion Weekend a Church Relations representative from Compassion will contact you to find out more about your church. Based on information from this call, we can send you complimentary materials and enough Child Packets to help you fulfill your vision for your Compassion Weekend. They will provide various resources to help make the experience all that it can be and all that it needs to be.
This one weekend can change lives, countless children and families living around the world without hope and those in your church. We urge you to step up and love like Christ taught us and called us to.
