I was able to witness the work that God is doing through Compassion’s efforts in Guatemala. It was amazing and inspiring to see the devotion, faith and earnestness of the children and adults we met there. These were definitely things that encouraged me as well as challenged me in my own relationship and walk with the Lord.

I was encouraged by seeing the kids in the centres—that was the best part. I see that they are loved, cared for and happy because of what the sponsorship provides.

Group trips

Compassion Exposure Trips allow you to step into the world of the child you sponsor. On these trips, you have the opportunity to explore your sponsored child’s home country—eat the food they eat, play the games they play. And to top it all off, you will get to give your sponsored child a hug and deliver that next letter in person!
