Compassion ABC's: A is for...

A is for....ADVOCACY


ad·vo·cate

noun...a person who publicly supports or recommends a particular cause or policy.
verb...publicly recommend or support.



Whether or not you are an official member of Compassion's Advocate Network, YOU can speak up and spread the word of Compassion's ministry to those around you. 

Take a minute to watch this video... 


Speak Up for One Child from Compassion International on Vimeo.

Advocacy can take on many forms and look different for each person.

It can look like wearing a t-shirt. It can look like working at a concert. It can look like talking about your sponsored child with your neighbor or friend, It can look like doing a Compassion Sunday presentation. It can look like sharing the gift catalog with your small group. It can look like writing a Compassion themed blog. It can look like running in a race.





Advocacy has many faces and one purpose....to spread the message of sponsorship and to help release children from poverty in Jesus name.

I love this. Thank you for always always speaking up on behalf of the children. You were there for me and helped me become an advocate. Haven't been as active as I need to be.... but it is still my passion.

So thankful for you.
This is going to be a wonderful series of posts! Can't wait to see what you have come up with for each letter ;)
For the person considering joining the advocacy team, I can't recommend it enough! Do it!
This is such a good post! I wish I had read this years ago! I was scared to jump in and become an advocate because of being scared of the unknown and a fear that I wouldn't be able to do enough. Becoming an advocate has been such a blessing!! I'm so glad God finally prompted me to just go for it. Thanks for the encouragement, Jill. And I agree with Yvonne--I'm excited to read the rest of the posts in the series. What a fun idea.
