The Compassion Experience
Visit another country without leaving your community
We believe Jesus brings hope that changes the world.
Millions of children around the globe are living in poverty, but they find hope through Jesus Christ. Through sponsorships and donations, Compassion International empowers local churches to love, care for and protect children in poverty so they're free to learn, grow, play and dream.
Poverty damages children's growth, learning and development, preventing them from reaching their God-given potential. But Jesus cares for the most vulnerable and calls us to do the same. At Compassion International, we're following in his footsteps.
We believe hope changes the world because we see it change the lives of children every day.
What is the Compassion Experience?
Join us for an interactive journey to experience a child's life in poverty. You'll hear stories of kids who have lived through hopelessness but found hope in Jesus.
It’s a free, family-friendly event!

Real stories. Real Impact.
“For me, it was how much a sponsor impacted the child. The letters were precious to him, and he desperately wanted the love and hope that having a sponsor meant.”
“Being able to see first-hand what life is like and seeing examples of items throughout the experience. It felt like we were really there.”
“In the school room, when we heard how Jey waited and waited to hear his name called to let him know he’d been sponsored. Hearing how excited he was when he finally heard his name, and how excited everyone in the school was for him, was really impactful.”
