Share Your Story

Have you ever shared your Compassion story with others? It can be such a blessing to others and yourself to share how God has worked in your life through this ministry.

Here's a short version of my story...

Sixteen years ago, when I was in college, Bart Compolo (Tony's son) spoke at my school and talked about Compassion's ministry. God began working in my heart and when I ran across an advertisement for Compassion in my CCM magazine, I mailed in a child request form. A couple weeks later, I received sponsorship information for Judith in Kenya, thus beginning my journey as a Compassion sponsor.

I quickly realized the incredible impact my sponsorship had on Judith's life. Not in a position to sponsor more kids, I joined the advocate network and set out to find sponsors. Along the way, I heard about and met some remarkable people who were sponsoring several children. I was inspired and began praying that someday I would have my own family, full of children all around the world.

Over the past 16 years, God has answered that prayer. We have had many children, from many different countries, pass through our lives. He continues to bless us, so that we can sponsor more and more children. God has used the ministry of Compassion and the relationship we have with our sponsored children to teach us and bring us into a deeper relationship with Him. I am truly amazed that God allows us to partner with Him in this amazing ministry.

I would LOVE to hear your story. You can share how you became involved in Compassion, who your sponsored children are, where they live or what you love most about this ministry.
