Compassion International is an interdenominational Christian child development organization that exists as an advocate for children to release them from their spiritual, economic, social and physical poverty and enable them to become responsible and fulfilled Christian adults. This is accomplished through a one-to-one sponsorship program. In a world where more than a billion children live on less than $2 per day, connecting one child with one sponsor is the most strategic way to end child poverty. Through monthly gifts, prayer and letter writing, sponsors invest in the lives of children living in extreme poverty.
Compassion's Holistic Child Development Model begins in the earliest stages of a child’s development and continues through young adulthood. This long-term model benefits children today and equips them with the skills they need to become independent Christian adults.
Hillsboro First United Methodist Church has been partnering with Compassion for over 10 years, helping scores of children break out of the cycle of poverty. Currently, 60 children are being released from poverty by members of Hillsboro First UMC.
Compassion works in 26 developing countries, serving the needs of over 1.5 million children. To learn more, visit www.compassion.com.
