Each year, we are blown away by the many ways that passionate Canadians come alongside us to use their creativity, unique gifts and talents to engage in the fight against poverty.
We’ve linked arms with friends, partners and burden-bearers who have become Compassion Ambassadors. They are ministry leaders, worship leaders, artists, entrepreneurs, business owners, bestselling authors, comedians and so many others who share our passion and mandate to uphold the cause of children and families living in poverty.
Compassion Ambassadors come from a variety of ministry backgrounds and have the unique opportunity to be the voice of our ministry to people we may never meet. They have chosen to use their platforms to speak out on behalf of children, and they regularly use their gifts and talents to mobilize the Church to help break the cycles of poverty in their lives.
We invite you to meet five incredible Compassion Ambassadors who are committed to using creative ways to bring hope and help to children and families living in poverty.
