How Compassion Sunday can benefit your church’s ministry, mission and worship

Engaging With the Bible

Hosting a Compassion Sunday is a way to lead your congregation into a deeper understanding of the Bible’s teachings regarding poverty and our mandate to care for those in need.

Changing Lives

Reaching out to the poor in Jesus’ name can be a powerful catalyst for spiritual growth. Church members will be transformed as they begin to open their hearts to individual children who are in urgent need.

Growing Mission

Involvement can motivate prayer and renew enthusiasm for mission, deepen relationships, and create a renewed sense of togetherness.

Inspiring Christians

By providing tangible resources as well as practical action points, Compassion Sunday equips your ministry to engage the entire church family creatively with a loving response to poverty.
