A New and Glorious Morn
Your church can help keep children in school and safe from traffickers - will you join us this Christmas?
Expanding into
Palm Village
We’ve been invited to begin a partnership in a new community we’re calling Palm Village, where many of the children and their families have fled natural disasters on their native islands.
Traffickers strike in times of crisis, preying on vulnerable people in desperate need; few are more vulnerable than refugees. Attending school is simply out of reach for these children who are working alongside their parents so their family can eat.
There’s something we can do.
$1,200 covers the cost of a child’s education for one year and provides the headroom for a family to experience hope. The most proven path from the trappings of poverty to a future of infinite possibilities is through the classroom.
Imagine a day when each of these children is in school and safe from traffickers. Will your church help make that dream a reality through a Christmas offering this year?
How can my Church Give a Christmas Offering?
Use the form below to sign up for the Christmas Offering and you will receive a media kit by October 1 that will equip you to effectively lead your congregation through a Christmas Offering. This kit includes a short and powerful video, photos from our Community Development ministry in Palm Village, slides with information about Compassion First, and printable handouts.
CF speakers will be visiting churches in November and December to give short updates or full sermons about Compassion First.
Let us know if you're interested as soon as possible, because these weekends fill up quickly.
If you would like more information about the Christmas Offering, don’t hesitate to reach out to us. You can contact Emily Schwichtenberg, our Associate Director of Development, at emily@compassionfirst.org or by calling our office at 503-207-1320. We would love to connect!
