A global movement

Changing the world starts with children. When your students move with compassion, it transforms their hearts, and the lives of children across the globe. This is service learning with kingdom impact.

We partner with Christian schools to raise a generation that responds to injustice with Christ-like compassion. Across Australia, young people are making a difference for their global neighbours.

What schools are saying

Jack, Year 10, St. Philip’s Christian College Port Stephens

“As I was on the [Compassion] trip, God was talking to me. I need to start living the life of a servant. I want to serve God and I want to do something for Him, and after that trip, I’ve just realised how much more I want to do for Him. It’s changed my entire mindset.”

Jack, Year 10, St. Philip’s Christian College Port Stephens
