Compassion International
25,000 children die each day from preventable diseases.But, there's something we can do to help the poor and the needy. You can make a difference in the lives of children by sponsoring a child through Compassion International. Compassion International exists as a Christian child-advocacy ministry that releases children from spiritual, economic, social, and physical poverty and enables them to become responsible, fulfilled Christian adults. Compassion helps more than 1 million children in 25 countries.
Child Sponsorship
When you sponsor a child, you are linked with one particular child who will know your name, write to you, and treasure the thought that you care. Your tax-deductible contribution of just $38 a month connects your child with a loving, church-based child sponsorship program that provides:
- Food and clean water
- Medical care
- Educational opportunities
- Important life-skills training
- Most important of all, your sponsored child will hear about Jesus Christ and be encouraged to develop a lifelong relationship with God

Bible Fellowship Church is focusing our child sponsorships in the countries of Honduras and Tanzania. Our dream is to begin planning to take a group who sponsor children in Honduras or Tanzania to meet the children they sponsor. If you would like to sponsor a child from Honduras or Tanzania, click here (www.compassion.com/arlonnemonroe).
Child Survival Program
Compassion has taken another step to help children by reaching out to mothers who lack education and resources for adequate prenatal and infant care. For only $20 a month, you can support a Child Survival Program (CSP) which helps rescue, nurture, and disciple children during their critical early years. Your partnership will:
- Help save the lives of infants at risk by providing nutritious food supplements, immunizations and health care
- Provide prenatal care and training to pregnant mothers
- Ensure that CSP mothers have skilled birthing attendants - this alone saves countless lives
