Hi! Welcome to our new website. Please check it out and let us know what you think!

On Sunday, tornadoes occurred in the Birmingham, AL area. Although the damage and injury doesn’t compare to the huge April 2011 disaster in the same area to which World Compassion responded, we will continue to monitor the situation for a possible response. Meanwhile, please remember these people in your prayers. For some of them, their lives have been disrupted again while still recovering from last year.

Welcome to World Compassion Network
Many people think of God as such an awesome powerful God and cannot imagine His grieving over our suffering and pain. The opposite is true. God cares for us deeply to the point of joining us in our distress. He actually feels for us as we would our sick child. One of God’s most powerful characteristics is compassion. As we mature in our life with God, we need to take on His characteristics. That is why we say you are never more like God than when you are showing compassion towards those who are suffering from poverty and disasters.
The very word compassion means "to suffer together, to be involved in other peoples suffering to the point of taking action to help".
