Mission Statement

Our purpose is to work long-term to assist and support local missionaries and pastors in the evangelizing, planting and building of new Christian churches, schools, feeding centers, and medical clinics. This will be done through the partnership efforts of Christians both in-country and the United States. C in A missionaries and short-term team members will seek through personal witness to bring the hope and light of the gospel of Jesus Christ to those who are living in spiritual darkness around the world.

When Jesus saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them...and He said to His disciples, "The harvest truly is plentiful, but the workers are few. Therefore, pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest field.

Matthew 9:36 & 38

Statement of Purpose

The purpose of our short-term mission team is to bring physical relief and spiritual support to those who are victims of Hurricane Mitch and other of life's disasters. This will be done through the partnership efforts of Christians in both the United States and other countries.

While large relief agencies work "from the top down", instead the purpose of Compassion is to work "from the bottom up" alongside those who are facing both immediate relief needs and long-term reconstruction needs.

Compassion in Action mainly works long-term to assist and support local communities and pastors in the evangelizing, planting and building of new Christian churches, schools, feeding centers, and medical clinics.

Compassion in Action team members will seek through personal witness to bring the hope and light of the gospel of Jesus Christ to those who have been disadvantaged by natural disasters.

We believe that God will continue to lead us to make an eternal difference as we invest our lives to help others rebuild theirs.
