Preparing Now for the Unseen

Unexpected circumstances and challenges can and do arise when we least expect it. Compassion’s mission compels us to work in some of the most vulnerable and fragile regions of the world, where uncertainties like conflicts, natural disasters and other crises can occur at any moment. Today, global factors like inflation, supply chain constraints and wars are actively impacting our frontline churches and the children they serve. And we anticipate future crises will only compound those problems. The children in our care depend on us to be ready and able to support them when the ground beneath their feet is unstable, and it’s our sacred duty to be there for them as they grow, learn and thrive.

As Compassion strives to be good stewards of the mission God has given us, it is vital to build and maintain the financial flexibility needed to respond to unexpected challenges and emerging opportunities with agility and efficiency. We need to prepare proactively for the unknowns that are certain to come so Compassion and our church partners can be an anchor for the communities we serve in the changing tides and storms.
