A Call to Compassion

Jesus lived and breathed compassion. He was and is compassion itself. A Call to Compassion is your personal invitation to discover the joy of committing your life to a cause higher than your own personal desires and learn to be a reflection of God’s steadfast love. Be inspired by the stories of these eleven great women:

Catherine Booth, cofounder of the Salvation Army
Nancy Ward, hero and “last beloved lady” of the Cherokee Nation
Florence Nightingale, reformer and pioneer of health care and a well-trained nursing profession
Gladys Aylward, missionary to the sick, orphans, and poor in China
Mother Teresa, devoted servant to the poor in Calcutta, India, and the world
Amy Carmichael, missionary in India, serving girls offered as temple prostitutes by their parents
Catherine Drexel, nun who gave away millions of dollars to help Native Americans and African Americans
Phoebe Palmer, mother of the Holiness Movement
Hannah More, well-known writer who worked for the abolition of slavery
Elizabeth Fry, prison reformer in England and Europe
Heidi Baker, passionate missionary “compelled by love” to the poor in Mozambique, Africa, and the world

God wants to express His heart through you in new and creative ways. Be a pioneer of compassion in your world today!
