AROUND THE WORLD

Compassion International has become one of more than 260 Christian organizations around the world that have partnered in the Micah Challenge to combat child poverty globally. The Micah Challenge is a global Christian campaign that encourages Christians to engage with the poor and influence world leaders to meet the United Nations millennium development goals by 2015. Compassion International, a long-term Christian child development ministry, is committed to seeing children get out of poverty. Ì¢‰âÒThere are thousands of verses where God is communicating about the issue of poverty and wealth,Ì¢‰âÂå said David Dahlin of Compassion. Ì¢‰âÒIt’s the second most common theme in the Bible.Ì¢‰âÂå (Mission Network News)
