Two Paths: Compassion International vs ChildFund > 나눔

• 목록

This article articulates two divergent paths that two children mercy mission organizations took with the same origin.   China Children's Fund that became ChildFund began with deep Christian convictions to serve Jesus Christ through sponsoring needy children in China, but ultimately abandoned it's Christian origin.  Compassional International is still firmly planted in the Christian doctrine and have not forgotten that it's roots.  It has not forgotten that it is the grace of God that strengthens and counsels us to have true mercy to the fallen and destitute children.

We see the same pattern with World Vision and Samaritan's Purse.  World Vision that my family supported for a long time by recommendation of a liberal pastor never came back to Christ-centered mission and is an open supportor of same-sex marriage.  While Samaritan's Purse although had struggles, but came back it's original purpose in honoring Christ my Lord and my God.

I am overjoyed to hear Saenuri's direction to Compassion International since it still submits to God's providence.  I ponder, can a true Christian openly serve and support organizations that forgotten and rejected the name of Jesus Christ as the source salvation, mercy and mission, instead treating the name of Jesus Christ to be nothing more than means to get more funding?
