Local & Global Missions.
Compassion Overview
“In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:16
Our Goal
We believe by focusing our resources on a few rather than many, our overall involvement will be more personal and our impact will be greater. To engage locally and globally through our partner organizations that meet the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of the vulnerable, displaced, and unreached in Jesus’ name. To see people experience transformational development and intentional, effective discipleship.
Our Strategy
We align our compassion engagement under “causes” where we are global in our focus, partnering in our efforts, and strategic in our priorities. With the intentional overlap of "causes" between our local & global partners, we desiring mutually beneficial learning and equipping. We can learn from our global partners and bring our understanding back to our local partners, and conversely so we can bring our local partner understanding to our global partners.
Our Priorities
Vulnerable - Those susceptible to physical or emotional harm. E.g., Homeless, those living in poverty, children, human trafficking.
Displaced - Those who are not in a place they call home. E.g., Migrant workers, refugees, orphans, immigrants.
Unreached - Those who have not yet recieved the Good News of Jesus. Ex: Our neighbours, other religious communities.
Our Goal
Transformational Development – The process of growth and change that seeks to restore wholeness of life in individuals & communities by meeting physical, emotional and spiritual needs.
Intentional & Effective Disciple Making – Evangelizing non-believers, establishing believers in the faith and training & equipping ministry leaders
Our Causes & Partnerships

🏘 SafeHope Home
