Why pray?

Prayer is one of the most effective and vital things Compassion sponsors can do in our fight against injustice. Prayer can help to end the cycle of poverty, abuse and exploitation.

Poverty, abuse, injustice and exploitation are essentially spiritual problems. We need to be aware that we are also fighting a spiritual battle.

"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms ..." Ephesians 6:12 (NIV)

What is Compassion's Prayer Partners Network

Compassion’s Prayer Partner Network is integral in strengthening the ministry of Compassion worldwide and is made up of passionate Compassion supporters from all backgrounds with a desire to partner with us in prayer.

Commit to praying for your sponsored child. God hears those who cry out to him day and night. Jesus tells us "He will see that they get justice, and quickly." Therefore, we seek to serve God with honour and integrity in all that we do including prayer.

Prayer is one of the greatest ways you can help your sponsored child: pray for them regularly, pray for their good health, safety and education, and pray that they are loved and well cared for. You can also pray for Compassion’s project staff who work on the frontline of the child development programs – that they have the wisdom to assess your sponsored child’s personal situation and know how best to help them.
