Sharing Brings Joy

“I bring good news that will be great joy to all people.” -Luke 2:10

This Christmas season, share a gift of Courageous Compassion with your friends and family! We invite you to give an alternative Christmas gift in honor of a loved one this holiday season.

In addition, we have teamed up with several of our partners, longstanding and new, to help you give gifts that reflect your commitments to work for relief and development all over the world. Help bring great joy to developing communities, as well as to your own by choosing a gift that celebrates partnerships that make a difference around the world, around the year.

Sharing brings joy! Christmas greetings from Week of Compassion!
