COMPASSION MINISTRIES CONNECTIONS
Compassion Ministries Connections gives you and your small group the opportunity to connect through prayer and support with people who are receiving aid from WMU compassion ministry partners across the country.
After you sign-up with the form below to connect with a compassion ministry partner, you will be sent an email that will introduce you and your group to the ministry leader. You will be in direct contact with the ministry leader to see the best ways that you can pray for and support their ministry.
We encourage you to connect with the ministry leaders on a quarterly basis to see how you can encourage their participants. Here are a few suggestions on how to connect with the ministry leaders per quarter:
- January, February, March—Provide some type of Valentine’s Day treat for the ministry participants
- April, May, June—Celebrate participants who are graduating from the ministry program
- July, August, September—Provide resources and encouragement for participants in their program
- October, November, December—Sponsor some type of event for Thanksgiving or Christmas
