Joining God2019 ANNUAL REPORT
Releasingchildren frompoverty in
A Letter from CompassionInternational’s President and CEO,Santiago “Jimmy” MelladoThis year, we’ve leaned more heavily than ever beforeinto a phrase that changes the way we think, act andwork — “joining God.” This has transformed how weoperate, how we interact with our global Compassionfamily and how we champion other organizations,partnerships and the people around us.“Releasing children from poverty iswhy we exist, but Compassion didn’trelease a single child in 2019. God did.”These words, “joining God in releasing children frompoverty in Jesus’ name,” are written on our executiveconference room wall as a daily reminder that thiswork belongs to him. We are merely co-laborers,partnering with so many all over the world that haveaccepted his invitation.God is working through individuals, families, churches,nonprofit organizations, for-profit companies and somany others to accomplish his work. Compassion hasbeen called to a strategic role in that story — we getthe privilege of empowering others to embrace theircalling and to make a life-changing difference forchildren living in poverty.Releasing children from poverty is why we exist, butCompassion didn’t release a single child in 2019. Goddid. It was God working through the frontline church.It was God working through the committed supporter.It was God working through the strategic partnership.It was God working through our team members.We had the incredible honor of connecting peopletogether and now we get to tell those stories.In the pages that follow, I’m excited to share storieswith you from 2019, of dreams that are coming to life,talents that are being used for good, and passions andpurposes that are being amplified. Let’s celebrate thattogether.2COMPASSI ON I NTER NATI ONAL2 01 9 A NNUA L R E P O RT3
