Dear prayer partner,

Picture this: In a small town in northern Peru, families chat outside in the evening air. Suddenly, a message echoes on the town’s loudspeaker. Six-year-old Khalessi rushes to her grandma, eyes shining, to share the news: The local church is now partnering with Compassion! In a town once considered forgotten, this partnership means one thing: Hope has come!

As we enter a new year, we celebrate new beginnings — not just for us, but for children like Khalessi in Compassion-supported communities worldwide. For these children, Compassion’s partnership with their local church opens doors to a brighter future.

This January, please join us in prayer for these new church partnerships.

In 2024, Compassion’s work expanded to four more countries. Through new church partnerships in Malawi, Myanmar, Cambodia and Zambia, thousands more children now have support and a chance to hear the life-changing message of Jesus!

This year, Compassion will reach more remote areas within the countries we serve, including jungle communities, Indigenous and tribal groups, mountain regions and remote islands.

Let’s pray for the dedicated church staff, pastors and volunteers walking alongside these children. Ask God to bless and guide them as they share Christ’s love.

Your prayers are powerful and make these stories of hope and transformation possible!

Blessings,
Zoe Noakes
Communications Specialist, Compassion International
