Growing Compassion
The folks over at Compassion International might be getting kinda hungry right now.
Compassion, a worldwide child aid ministry based in Colorado Springs, is preparing for its annual "Compassion Sunday" (April 22) with a corporate-wide day of prayer and fasting. Compassion Sunday is when the organization joins with thousands of churches nationwide to encourage church congregants to become child sponsors -- and it can draw these sponsors by the truckload. Last year, 20,700 people decided to sponsor a Compassion child on Compassion Sunday.
Several local churches are taking part in the effort this Sunday, including: Sunnyside Christian Church; Heritage Evangelical Free Church (Monument); Crossroads Chapel; Living Word Community Church; Firm Roots Fellowship; Pulpit Rock Church; Audubon Heights Baptist Church; Tri-Lakes Chapel (Monument); Mountain View Wesleyan Church; New Life Church; Austin Bluffs Evangelical Free Church; and Filipino American Community Church.
Compassion is Colorado Springs' largest religious organization and has helped feed, clothe and educate more than 1 million children since its inception in 1952.

Did that include the Armstrong children?
