Fund Highlights

When Christ emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, he established a pattern we are to follow as believers: to be imitators of him. You have given, and continue to give, because you have fully embraced this calling. In your many forms of generosity, you have taught us what it looks like to put the heart of Christ into practice. The pages below offer a glimpse into the reach of that obedience: the Compassion funds you have supported, and testimonies of how these funds have blessed people in profound need.
