COMPASSION CANADA

We're partnering with Compassion Canada to release children from poverty in Jesus' name.

With our strong ties to Nicaragua, we are excited to focus our partnership with Compassion Canada in Ciudad Sandino, Nicaragua. This allows us to pour into a focused area and visit this community and those we sponsor.

SEND A NOTE TO A CHILD IN CIUDAD SANDINO, NICARAGUA

This March Break, a team from Cornerstone will be headed to Nicaragua and are excited to spend time with Compassion visiting children sponsored by Cornerstone in the community of Ciudad Sandino. Will you join us in encouraging the children in this community through a handwritten note?

OUR VISIT WITH COMPASSION

In March a team from Cornerstone was blessed with the opportunity to visit our partners at Compassion Nicaragua and children from our sponsorship cluster.

Our team members were able to spend the day with their sponsored children, learn about Compassion’s projects, and create some beautiful memories. It was an incredible day and we are blown away by Compassion’s work in Nicaragua and the love they have for these children and for the Lord.

In 2022 we celebrated our one year anniversary of our partnership with Compassion. To celebrate, Compassion has created a plaque with many of the children that have been sponsored through those that have indicated Cornerstone as their home church.

We are encouraged by the number of people who are choosing to invest in the lives of children and partnering with Compassion “to release children from poverty in Jesus’ name”. Eighty-eight of the sponsorships have been made from our Nicaragua cluster since the partnership launch!

We encourage sponsors to continue to get to know your children through letters, gifts, even visits (virtual or in person) (please see Compassion’s website for more details).
