ACTION is a mission committed to evangelism, discipleship,
and development to street and underprivileged children through the local church
in each of the 22 countries where we work. People ask us about various NGO’s
and child sponsorship agencies worldwide. There are many very effective small
evangelical child sponsorship ministries worldwide.
The largest evangelical sponsorship ministry which we
recommend is Compassion International, headquartered in Colorado Springs, CO,
USA [http://www.compassion.com/about/aboutus.htm].
The reason we are highly in favor of Compassion is because
it has a focus of the Gospel and all of the sponsorship programs (over 1
million sponsored children worldwide) are through “local” evangelical churches.
In the Philippines alone, Compassion sponsors over 60,000
needy children through local evangelical churches. This helps insure that each child hears the
Gospel and receives compassionate care from God’s people.
