Dear Friend,
I am excited about your interest in Compassion Corps International! The opportunity before you is a chance to experience the life of missions and missionaries. And if you so choose, you can even earn a Bible College degree while exploring the amazing sites and cities of our nation. Whether traveling the continental U.S. or at our home base in New Orleans, prepare for an adventure that will change your life and the world around you.
The city of New Orleans is unique because it provides the atmosphere for a vast array of ministerial experiences. This city is a mission field at our doorstep, where the poverty rate is almost double the national average! Here and in cities abroad, our students have the opportunity to apply Mark 6:34 to their lives, when Jesus felt compassion for the crowd because he saw that “…they were like sheep without a shepherd.” God has called you and I to serve our nation and our world by reaching the lost! When you join Compassion Corps International you’re not just serving missions, you become a missionary.
So what are you waiting for? See what the Lord will do when you simply say, “Here I am Lord, send me!”(Is. 6:8) I look forward to helping you follow the calling that the Lord has placed on your life!
In Christ,
Anthony Freeman
AGUSM Director of Missions Advancement
