Make a Difference. Sponsor a Child Today.

What is Compassion Sunday?

Compassion Sunday is an annual event that empowers Christ-followers to live out the Great Commission in a practical way. By sponsoring a child, you help provide:

  • An introduction to the love of God

  • Nutritious food and clean water

  • Medical care and education

  • Job skills training for a better future

As sponsors, you’ll also have the powerful opportunity to build a personal relationship with your sponsored child through letter writing, offering encouragement and hope.

Why Guatemala?

At United Church, we are committed to making a lasting impact in Guatemala—a country where many children face extreme poverty and lack access to basic necessities. Through child sponsorship, we can empower local churches to bring hope, care, and the gospel to these children and their families.
