My husband has gone on 3 CSi trips to help provide aid in Ukraine, Prague, Poland, & Israel! These trips truly made an impact on our lives, as well as those he was able to help while overseas! Seeing the resilience of the people over there has inspired us to be more compassionate & to get more involved with helping! CSi has been an amazing nonprofit to partner with in our giving! They educate people on the needs, they encourage participation on any level & they follow through on their goals!
CSi is a great organization with a great goal. It is constantly changing lives and helping people all around the world.
Compassion Services International is a great nonprofit! I’ve worked with them before, and they are very organized in their work, and their mission is to help those in need. All their work is very beneficial to those they are serving.
CSI is all about helping those in need when tragedy strikes. I have seen the impact they’ve had on many lives. I hope to get a little more involved than giving in the future.
Seeing all the work they do, and help they provide for people going through natural disasters and persecution is encouraging.
So many people are touched and effected by CSi, I believe they need all the prayer and support they can get, so that they can continue to reach people.
Excellent resource for help in any catastrophe! They have helped with tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes ect… their medical teams are first rate!
Their response time is exceptional. Compassion Services are always available when the needs arise! Thank you Compassion Services.
Compassion and caring are essential skills that Compassion Services International uses to connect with others on a deeper level and provide support and comfort when needed. Compassion Services International are the hands and feet of Jesus.
CSi gives volunteers a real chance at being the Hands and Feet of Christ overseas. Sometimes people desire to use their natural skill set to impact the world - but there doesn’t appear to be a way to do it- CSi finds a way and matches volunteers with needs. This changes the world in a whole
New way!
CSI brings tender loving care to those in need all over the world. They truly are compassion in action.
I am absolutely blown away by the incredible work of this nonprofit organization providing global disaster relief! Their dedication and swift response to emergencies around the world are nothing short of remarkable. Seeing the positive impact they bring to affected communities fills my heart with hope and gratitude. It's inspiring to know that there are compassionate individuals and organizations out there making a real difference in times of crisis. I wholeheartedly support their mission and urge others to do the same!

I am so impressed and inspired by the work of Compassion Services International. It is beautiful to see so many people from so many diverse backgrounds come together to give and serve the hurting and the helpless through CSi. I love the access we have through CSi to know about the needs. I appreciate the continual updates where we can see the results of our giving and praying to reach others. CSi truly spreads HOPE around the world. I am always encouraged to believe that good can come out of tragedy when I see CSi impacting those in crisis.

I love to see the way CSi works with the Nations that seem to be the most desperate for assistance. Each time I give, I see stories of lives that have received hope and help on a level that is truly life changing. I love that CSi has partnerships with many workers in parts of the world I might never visit. At least I can make a difference, even from a distance.
Compassion Services International has served many humanitarian and disaster needs around the world for several years. CSI does an excellent job serving where needed when needed and is a wise steward of funds received. Donors can be assured contributions are spent as designated with great oversight of the Executive Board.
The way they have stepped in and helped in the Ukrainian crisis has been unbelievable. So many people helped, strengthened, and given hope. Thankful for CSi!
The CSI (Compassion Services International) team, has been an incredible BLESSING to the people of Fiji during our seasons of greatest need.
When hurricanes battered our beautiful Island nation it was CSI that was first in line, immediately at the ready for whatever our most urgent need at the moment might have been. From water, groceries, and toiletries to helping with building supplies for temporary shelters and assisting with the rebuilding process to help get us back on our feet again.
They were even there for us when Fiji was crippled a severe COVID-19 outbreak like so many other countries around they world. Yet in spite of the massive needs globally, they were still able to find a way to help as they always do. When their assistance arrived, it brought with it a restored sense of HOPE among the people, that even though we were isolated the helping hands of CSI seem to find their way to us just the same. We were in crisis but they proved once again that we were not alone.
We here at the United Pentecostal Church of Fiji are so deeply appreciative and proud of all the wonderful work the CSI team has done, not only in Fiji but around the world. We will continue to partner with and support the wonderful organization, that can always be counted on when the dark days of life encroach upon us from time to time.
May God richly bless CSI and all the wonderful work they do!!!
I’m proud to support CSi. This is a non profit you can be assured is doing what they say- compassionately caring for others when they need it most. Knowing the people behind the scenes gives me confidence in where my dollars go- seeing their faces and places is awesome- not just strangers! Most importantly knowing how much praying is done for these people, places, needs and souls!
I have been able to observe CSI for many years. Over and over I’se seen first hand the amazing work this team does. I’ve seen first hand the thousands of people that have been helped.
Im honored to volunteer and be a pert of this world changing team.
I was moved in 2020 by all the humanitarian work that was being done by Compassion Services International. Week after week, I followed updates about CSI helping those hardest hit by Covid/ lock downs, and natural disasters. They were not only meeting desperate needs but doing so in an ethical and respectful way. I keep being impressed at their pursuits to impact communities through education and medical help, as well. I give to CSI because they value the entire person and demonstrate the best of humanity.
This non-profit organization is so awesome. It has completely changed my life. Not in the way you might think. Unfortunately I have not got to go on a mission with them yet, though I truly hope I do get to work with them someday. One of the amazing leaders from this organization was an instructor at a missions training seminar that I attended. She told me things about myself that I never even realized and opened my eyes to what God truly has seen me as this whole time. If it wasn't for her I would still be seeing myself as not good enough for missions. Now I realize that nobody is but with God's help and through God's instruction he can make us good enough for whatever he wants to use us for.
I have worked with CSI for nearly 20 years in different capacities and can say that CSI does more with less resources than seems possible. CSI has been active globally and the limited resources have forced a more focused, strategic approach to disasters.

CSI does more with less than any organization I have been involved with or been around. There are consistently more needs than funding but somehow CSI manages to continually make an impact around the world with limited resource.
They are there in just about any crisis--humanitarian or natural disaster--so they're my go-to non-profit for responding to a need. They are there for others and for me as a donor too. Great connectors who do what they say!
Compassion Services has been very instrumental in coming to the aid of our missions in the Dominican Republic and the Leeward Islands during times of disaster and need. A group of volunteer doctors and nurses from CSI provided a 2-day wellness clinic in the islands of St. Kitts and Nevis. Also, during the pandemic, we received a generous donation from CSI and were able to provide much needed food and supplies to various families and communities who were unable to work and without any sources of help. We have also benefited from their donation of funds to purchase goats for pastors' families. This helps provide families in rural areas with milk and food. We are thankful for the help and support of Compassion Services International and for the many lives that have been blessed by their giving!

CSI quickly responded to the needs of the Haitian people as they dealt with a 7.2 earthquake sandwiched between two Tropical Storms.
They enabled us to deliver much needed food and supplies to the southwest region of Haiti.

I love the fact that CSi offers Hope and Help to the nations with Disaster Relief, Humanitarian Aid, Education, and Medical Missions. There are so many testimonials of representatives offering food and resources to those that were at the very end of their resources. One lady was taken to the Doctor by a representative and the doctor said that if she had not come in that day - she would have lost her life. The stories and reach of CSi goes on an on. Thankful to be a monthly financial partner with such a great non-profit.
I have donated through CSI in the past (and will continue to do so in the future). I am inspired by their mission to respond to specific needs throughout the world. The time they take to communicate, through pictures and first-hand accounts, demonstrates their continuing good stewardship of the resources folks like myself contribute.
I’ve had the absolute pleasure of serving and working alongside Compassion Services International while providing health education and awareness during health fair screenings to communities, and while providing disaster relief in the Bahamas during Hurricane Dorian. I can honestly say you won’t find an organization more dedicated, committed, and motivated to bringing hope and help with a goal of not only meeting the physical need of an individual, but meeting their spiritual and emotional needs as well. There’s no need too small, and no ask too great where they won’t step in,..and the impact and difference they make during every encounter is profound. I’m thankful for the opportunity to work alongside a team with a heart for Jesus. The care and compassion with which they serve every individual is admirable, inspiring, a constant reminder and challenge to us all.

Love this non profit because I know first hand that they deliver the help that’s needed at the point it’s needed most. It’s run by some of the most compassionate people I have the privilege of knowing personally. 100% 10/10 would recommend this organization
My experience with CSI has been many! Each experience has opened my eyes to a bigger world than what is around me. It all started with lots of prayer, next was a trip to Africa to help see things from a nurses point of view, ladies conference booth, visiting other states to work the CSI booth which helps raise money, make connections, & reach those that have the same desire to help CSI! While in Africa getting to meet the people and see first hand the corn mills, wells, Bible School, & church’s and know it’s where our money goes made my heart happy & has been life changing!! This nonprofit organization is one that I believe in it’s mission, work, & future! You should too!
Compassion Services Int. has responded to needs in the Dominican Republic and Leeward Islands through Medical clinics, hurricane relief, food distribution, purchase of livestock and humanitarian aid over the years. We have been recipients of several Medical Clinics which have been professionally organized and have been a great help to the communities. We appreciate the support and help they have supplied for the Caribbean people. Stephen Shirley Supervisor IPURD Dominican Republic and UPCI Leeward Islands
Leaders, Harold Linder, and Cylinda Nickel have a long history of global influence, inspiration, and interest. They are the epitome of “compassion.”
I joined CSI as a volunteer and went on a trip with some of the nurses and director, Cylinda, and it was amazing. The people involved are THE REAL deal, and I mean that. Truly passionate as well as compassionate about everything they are doing. Nothing is done for personal gain, but to help those in need. There are so many areas that this organization this area is apart of and I’m super excited to see where they will be going in the future. They also make it so easy for people with no experience to get involved whether on the field or from your home. Truly an amazing work. I only see growth in their future.
I have been acquainted with the activities and services of Compassion Services International (CSI) for many years. CSI is an outstanding group in my estimation for the following reasons: 1) the competency of those who run the program. My work overseas in Asia involved dealing with several major natural disasters (Tsunamis, earthquakes and floods, etc.). On each occasion I called upon CSI for assistance. Not only did they respond, they also sent in the right kind of teams to assist. 2) the coordination of CSI resources with my resources on the ground. CSI always worked hand in hand. 3) the prompt responses and instant communication made the whole process of bringing relief so much more stress free. My work in Asia is made so much easier when disaster strikes knowing that I can instantly be in touch with this great organization, for which I am truly grateful, 4) I have found CSI to be extremely aware of its financial responsibility and I have noticed that it is extremely careful in its use of funds, always serving the bigger picture, yet at times assisting individuals when even one life is threatened by disaster, and 5) CSI has proven its ability to do care prevention in places where medical facilities are limited. Lynden Shalm,
This is a wonderful nonprofit that brings help to thousands around the globe. By bringing humanitarian help, relief efforts, and education, CSI is truly bringing hope and help the the nations.
I have had the privilege to work with Compassion Services International from its inception 30 years ago. As missionaries for 23 years appointed to Costa Rica a country that has many natural disasters I called on CSi for help and they responded. The help came in the form of finances to rebuild after hurricanes, earthquakes and floods. Food and clothing were distributed on many occasions to those who had lost everything. CSi helped desperate situations to have a glimmer of hope.
In 2012 we were appointed to serve as what is called Regional Directors with Global Missions and that increased the needs. Now I have all of Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean Islands and all of South America. The needs are many. There has been request for humanitarian aid due to the Covid19 situation wrecking all the economies in this area. CSi has responded and literally thousands of men, women and children have been helped.
CSi is a vital service to the area I supervise. There have been Medical Clinics in many countries after disasters have struck as well as clinics in countries that have limited access to medical services. As its name reflects it is an arm of compassion in dire situations. I am grateful to CSi for the many times they have responded to my request. I will call on them in the future because the needs are like the waves of the sea, they just keep coming in.
If we lived in a perfect world where there were no disasters or problems than CSi would not be necessary. Since that is not the case then CSi is extremely important to me in the work I do to help me help those who have no where to turn for their basic needs when disasters strike and governments fail.
CSi helps the helpers with some of the most important and essential needs throughout the world. They inspire me to be a better giver, and a better support to those less fortunate!
CSI has been a great help in reaching out to the region where I serve as Regional Director. They have gone the extra mile and have been very considerate of the needs of those less fortunate. Their staff is friendly, respectful, and courteous. CSI helped in a Middle Eastern country in a very timely manner.
Thank you, CIS for being there!
I am G. Randy Adams, Regional Director for the Africa Region, UPCI, and I wish to highly appreciate CSI for their prompt, generous and compassionate service to the people in Africa.

Thank you CSI, and may God bless you to continue your worthy mission.

CSi is all about helping and being hope to the nations. I love being able to come along side their projects and directives to aid in humanitarian relief and medical missions. Compassion Services International has given me a global perspective on the hardships faced by many, and what can be done to help.
CSI is quick to respond when a need arises. They have been very beneficial in helping ease the pain and send required assistance in multiple countries across the world when the needs arise. Compassion Services help humanity heal by sending aide in the form of food, funds and helping hands in countries stricken by disasters, poverty and other losses due to famine and natural weather occurrences. Humanitarian needs are met and hearts are encouraged. I have been involved in many medical tours and found it to be indescribably rewarding to help those in need.
Compassion Services International (CSI) is focused on meeting specific needs of people in areas impacted by natural disasters and other calamities. By partnering with experienced representatives in the field, CSI is able to ensure donated resources and directly used to help those in need. In this way, CSI is often filling a gap of overlooked people not reached by government assistance or major NGOs.
I have been privileged to assist this nonprofit in fundraising events at camps and conferences. This organization touches my heart deeply as its hands reach literally around the world, bringing hope and help to nations. I cannot go physically to the many countries around the world, but via CSi I can help those who can travel to areas of urgent need in humanitarian aid. CSi is the heartbeat of causes I treasure. The world would not be the same without Compassion Services International!
I have been deeply moved by the mission and vision of this nonprofit organization. Their heart really is centered on genuine compassion and helping the homeless, poor, hurting and victims of natural disasters. I highly recommend this organization. Please know that when you give to CSI that they will make your monetary gift extend out to help impact as many individuals as they possibly can.
I've seen first hand the positive impact Compassion Services has had with disaster relief and medical help in the country where I grew up as a missionary kid - I'm thankful for organizations like this one that provides much needed hope and help to people in need.
Compassion Services International is dedicated to spreading hope and help to people in need through disaster relief, education, medical clinics, and so much more. They are truly making a difference around the world.

Monday I received a notice from CSI that alerted me to the devastation Hurricane Dorian was bringing to the Bahamas. The heartfelt message called on us to exercise our faith in prayer and beyond to help them provide direct relief to those traumatized by the storm.

Several months following the devastating hurricanes, it has also been no small encouragement to see them honor their commitment to providing continued support in the Carribean.

Compassion Services is a non-profit that I trust. It's board members and staff are people of integrity and great character. When I found out that they were an Apostolic Christian organization assisting the world through a humanitarian effort I was all-in. I love that they have other ways of serving others outside of a typical mission trip. They offer an opportunity for me to use the skills that I am professional and passionate about; to go out into the world to serve others. What an amazing opportunity for missions and professions to beautifully co-exist! They are like an Apostolic Peace Corp and I can't wait to see what is coming next!
Compassion Services International goes wherever their is a need suffered as a result of disaster. They bring relief to the suffering and help to rebuild lives torn apart.
I am able to personally e mail and get a response back right away for any questions or concerns I have. CSI is great to keep me updated with videos on how their efforts are making a difference. They are great to go where they are needed most and when they are needed. They are relevant and quick to respond to those in need when they need it. I feel confident that the dollars I'm giving are maximized for the effort and I know they fast and pray over what they do. It is more than just money : it is heart and soul and power and passion for those in need for JESUS' NAME!
Compassion Services International does excellent work around the world. They show love, compassion, and genuine concern for those they aid. CSI does an excellent job at keeping donors and the general public informed of trips/projects they are compiling and the need for volunteers. Their follow-up reports are excellent and timely. CSI is definitely worthy of donations so they can continue their ministry to those impacted by traumatic events.
Compassionate with a heart and love for people around the world!

On October 20, 2017 the lives of millions of people in Puerto Rico changed. We were hit by a category 4 Hurricane. Compassion Services had boots in the ground within a few days after the disaster. They were diligent to get much needed aid in and Relief came in quickly on boats and small aircraft. While other agencies struggled to get aid into the island Compassion Services thought out of the box and was able to get food, medical supplies, generators in quickly. Being the logistic coordinator for our organization we were amazed while other groups were not
receiving any assistance we were able to reach out to many in need with water, first aid supplies, tarps, batteries, cleaning supplies and containers of food. We are indeed thankful to all who give .Compassion Services is the real deal. If you want your money to get needed supplies this is the go to group to invest in. Compassion Services indeed serves.

I enjoy giving through CSI because I know the hard earned money I give will be used wisely to benefit great needs. I can't be everywhere, but I can give to those who can be or who are in need.

It's a privilege to have the means to give money where it's needed, but a donor must choose carefully. Some organizations are very top heavy in salaries, which means my hard earned money isn't going to help a cause, but to the income of a high ranking official. I enjoy giving to CSI because I know my dollar puts feet on the ground, food in the stomachs, and medical assistance quickly and efficiently. As long as I can, I hope to continue giving to CSI.
CSI stays on point by helping with current and relevant needs. I have been impressed with their worldwide scope of vision and service. They have proven to be able to bring together a wide range of resources to help those affected by disaster and to aid in the disaster recovery.
I have observed this humanitarian organization from its beginning and it has without question served a great need to assist those who have been devastated by weather disasters. I commend them for their dedication to excellence and exceptional response when the need is made know all over the world.

Follow up emails are sent too with pictures and a summary of what the team and donations were able to accomplish. This is truly living out faith and showing Jesus' love to those in need.

We are missionaries in Burkina Faso, West Africa. Compassion is readily available to help in times of crisis. For example, we are the third poorest country in the world, most of our villages suffer for lack of grain. Compassion as send funds on regular basis for distribution. They are integral, professional and compassionate.
Previous Stories
We live in Burkina Faso, West Africa. Being the 3rd poorest nation in the world there are many humanitarian needs. In May 2015 we were experiencing extreme drought in our villages. Cattle and other livestock were dying and the people were suffering. There was nothing to eat as the ground turned completely to red clay and sand. Compassion acted immediately sending the much needed funding to buy grain. They were efficient in their paperwork and expedited the funds professionally. They simply, "saved lives".
My review may not be the most detailed, as I have only been blessed to give on occasion, not to join any of the missions, but I have met those in charge and let me tell you, they are genuine people.
I gave a donation to their cause at a booth set up at the last NAYC (national american youth congress) and before I ever gave I had many questions and they were so kind and willing to answer all my questions.
After giving I was automatically subscribed to an email newsletter (I could unsubscribe at any time) showing what CSI does and how they do it and what my money helped with.
They are an on the scene kind of charity, asking for volunteers to go on mission's trips to give medical aide in disaster areas.
Earthquake? They're there. Tsunami? They're there. Flooding? They're there.
They are currently seeking donations to help Louisiana flood victims rebuild their homes.
Most charities are kind of shady, you're not sure how much of what you give actually goes to help people, but I believe in this charity.
This team goes around the world offering aid after disasters. I have seen raw footage of staff members offering medical treatment and providing food--a tremendous cause. Their donation process is easy to use and the staff is dedicated to a noble effort. This is my favorite of all the charities I support.
CSI does a fantastic job with the resources available to them and is exceptional at keeping donors updated re the progress of their various projects.
I've been on a few mission trips and the JESUS film is the most productive at winning souls. The miracles that happen prove GOD has His hand on them. and still works miracles today.
Amazingly low overhead, almost all of your $ gift gets to the place you are looking to give, this is practically unheard of! CSI also collects and delivers other types of material donations to specific needs in specific areas. They have often been able to get into places and help during a natural disaster where no one else can. Thank you for all you do!
I love working with CSI because almost every dollar goes to the prupose rather than a lot of administration expense.
Great group that makes an impact on the ground in real situations. I appreciate their commitment to maximizing their impact by minimizing their administrative costs. I'm confident when I give, that the people who need help are going to receive it.
CSI sponsors worthy projects around the world while maintaining low operating costs. I love that they have smaller projects that you can contribute to and make a big difference in an individual's life.
This organization is truly worthy of recognition. They embody their name Compassion. Whether it is assisting with a domestic or international disaster or assisting with an individual, they show compassion.
They also keep donors informed which helps us know how the money is spent. I trust this organization to steward the money donated wisely.
I went with this group to the Dominican Republic. The trip changed my life. We worked very hard and treated around 600 people. Missionaries were great to work with. Our directors and leaders of the trip were motivational and inspiring. I will go on another trip with this organization.
I cannot go into the countries that have been hit with disasters. But, my brothers and sisters in the Lord are going and have been doing amazing things with mine and other folks charitable donations.

Compassion Services International is just as it's name states, full of compassion. they respond to emergency situations sometimes sooner than a government agency, making a difference in many lives during vulnerable times. It a nonprofit that I choose to support financially because I know that my money is wisely vested, and overhead costs kept as low as possible.
CSI enables and equips individuals to be a part of major opportunities to show compassion and love, in a transparent and dependable way!
Effective Organization for getting the resource you give to the need without wasting the resource unnecessarily on top heavy bureaucracy.

Absolutely the best charity, everyone truly cares about people. From the leaders to all the workers, everyone does it because they want to help others not because they have too. I got to see how much they care first hand, when i volunteered with them a few years ago. Also they are top notch, and very professional.

I worked with CSI in Haiti, summer 2012. Yes even 2 years after the disaster, they were still working to help the many people in need. A true VOLUNTEER organization, that anyone can be proud to be a part of. Whether volunteer, donor, or involved in another aspect of CSI, you won't be disappointed. To this day it remains the one time I really felt I made a difference. Coming home at the end of my time was hard, knowing there was still so much to do. Thankfully CSI continues to send teams there, and around the world, to wherever they are needed.
I believe that Compassion Services International (CSI) has helped in many critical situations in providing disaster relief in many countries. They give freely and work unselfishly.
I have given to worthy compassionate causes several times through Compassion Services International. They have exceptional performance with low overhead. I highly recommend them!
Since I cannot go, it's good to have an organization that I can contribute to that will go and help those who have experienced such tragedies and calamities in their lives.
Worked with them to bring relief to tornado victims in Moore, OK and South OKC. They assembled a great team of people to give supplies and to help with storm clean up
When there is a crisis, compassion is quick to send email alerts with links that show how I can help. They make it easy to give and later give updates on situations.
CSI lends great help through disaster relief, and it is a pleasure to be able to assist them through donations.
CSI is great about keeping me updated about how the funds are used. They send regular e mails and video stories that are very inspirational. They communicate about the teams that are leaving for what countries and what goals they set out to accomplish and later how those goals were met; great feedback!
CSI is also prompt in responding to questions about donation receipts and providing a tax statement at the end of the year.
I can tell that these people are very compassionate about what they do for others and are accountable to the people who contribute to their cause ! I am happy to donate to such a great organization!
Thank you CSI for all you do to count for Christ in this present world!

The reason why I am confident to donate to this organization is that I know the people that are helped by my contributions--the services and money given to people in need are real and relevant.
I really liked the ON-SITE video update about the tornado victims in Oklahoma--this video was so well done and allowed contributors to understand the situation, and real needs of people in Real- Life situations. It is COMPASSION IN ACTION --true reaching out to another in need--a hand up, not just a hand out.
Another example that gripped me was the story of how one family in the church in Greece had not eaten any meat in over a year. Due to the economic depression in the country, any food was scarce. To hear the NAMES of families and individual people,-- to see A FACE and a need before me, made giving to this cause a natural and reasonable inclination. The stories helped me to know the people--they became like family to me, but living on the other side of the world. I felt like I was sending a personal package to someone I knew.
To hear the words from this organization that I could send: 'whatever I could contribute'....
helped me to realize I could make a big difference with even a small gift. This attitude of
giving what I could, helped me to feel good about what I could do, and NOT bad about what I could NOT do. I did not act out of guilt, but out of relief and compassion, joyfully knowing that funds would get to where they needed to be, quickly and efficiently!
I trust this organization. I will confidently continue to contribute to Compassion International through the United Pentecostal Church. I look for, and depend on CSI to let me know where the needs are in the world; both here in the United States or abroad, all places are equally represented.
I want to help those in need around me , close and far , and I know this organization will direct my funds into the most appropriate avenues to help the most people possible.
Thank you CSI for helping me to GIVE !
They make it easy to donate to a wide variety of causes, and are on top of crises as they arise. CSI also has a very personal feel to their organization making me feel like I have a voice and helping me know that I can trust them.
I have the highest respect for Compassion Services International. They are the eyes, ears and hands of help for the hurting and they bring relief to the suffering. They are the connection between those that care and those that are in need. I appreciate their work and the opportunities they provide for compassionate giving. May the Lord continue to bless and use them. Russell
This organization is one of the few who truly use all funds for the need they are promoting. They are real people making a difference and I am proud to give to this organization. Keep up the great work you are doing , for you are impacting the lives of many for the kingdom of God!
I like it because I'm able to help financially as well as physically traveling there. Many people who are married have to travel together when doing missions work but my husband isn't able to travel at this time and this gives us an opportunity to not only go by giving but I'm able to travel without that restriction.
My wife and I started an adoption agency and helped set up an orphanage in Nepal five years ago. After the earthquate they sent teams twice to help our children and others in the region. They even provided the resources for them to have provisions should there be another earthquake.
CSI is a wonderful ministry that provides help and hope to those in need around the world. I know several people who have traveled to these different areas with CSI and have listened to their experiences...always tremendously positive.
Compassion Services International goes where the most current needs are ... whether domestic or international and funds appear to be wisely allocated. People you can trust.
Great organization doing excellent humanitarian work around the world wherever major disasters strike.

Grateful for the response of CMI to the OK City tornadoes, especially in view of the fact that our daughter and family live there. Appreciate the work of this organization.
As a clinician working in Nepal, I observed volunteers from this organisation engaging in risky behaviour, they mean well, but they are not fully trained in disaster relief. Its volunteers are hospital staff, with no experience in the field, going along on a trip, to feel useful.
I have been in Haiti with CSI. They are all about serving those in need! There are no 6 figure incomes for executives or any such foolishness. They put together teams of willing health professionals who finance their own way. Donations made to them go to providing direct needs such as medicines for those served.
I am confident in CSI to inform me where there is a need to help the hurting, whether in our own nation or on the other side of the world and in their use of donations they receive to do exactly that to the fullest of their ability. It is truly their mission and calling.
I usually find out about various disasters and needs through their correspondence before I hear about them on the news. They are informative on the needs of others and will let us know how they were able to help.

This organization has low overhead and high impact. They are doing great work state-side and internationally.
I feel confident when I donate to CSI that my money is being put to good use for the exact purposes it was solicited for. This is a wonderful Christian based organization that does much good around the world! I'm always happy to donate when I receive word of a need CSI is focusing on. They are also prompt in sending donation receipts for tax purposes.
I was privileged to take a trip with CSI in 2011 to Haiti. I was able to experience service to others like never before. This non-profit works tirelessly to see that a positive impact is made wherever they go. I appreciate their constant effort to make a difference and change lives.
If you have the opportunity to be a part of the work CSI is doing, please do so. Changing lives through service and monetary gifts never grows old.
Thanks CSI for all you do!
CSI is a wonderful way for people to be able to help those who need it most.
I love how they allow small donations, which is perfect for people like me, who want to help but do not have a lot to share. Every little bit contributes to the whole, and it makes me feel like I am truly helping out. Plus, they share where my money is working. I donated for tsunami relief and for tornado relief over the past couple of years, and CSI shared the hope and peace that I was able to help give to those who needed it most.
Truly, CSI is a Godsend.
Thankful for Compassion Services International. The organization keeps me up-to-date on high-priority needs around the world. I am comforted that the money I donate helps the victims. Compassion is quick to share updates and communications about how our donations are helping others. Thank you Jesus for Compassion Services International.
I LOVE getting the email from CSI that says will you help us in this need or crisis... and I get those often. And that tells me that CSI is on top of helping in a lot of major catastrophes that happen, not just here in the states but world wide. They are always sending some type of relief to a situation. It's like they are just hungry to help anyone that needs it. I appreciate CSI's devotion and dedication to the cause!
We have supported CSI from it's very beginnings. As a young couple with small children we faithfully gave each week into CSI through our home church, and were so grateful knowing that the funds were being well used. Watching the changes within CSI over the years has not changed our deep regard for CSI we still give as we can afford (we are now church planters and help our local assembly with most of our giving dollars) and only wish we could give more and with more regularly. CSI is always our first choice for gifting our side out local assembly.

When we give to Compassion Services International, we are certain that money is spent wisely and appropriately to take care of those in need. There is no other place I would want to place my donations than Compassion Services International.
It is my opinion that this organization is reliable, honest, trustworthy, and their staff is hardworking, kind, and willing to help even at the risk of their own plans, comfort, convenience, etc. You can be assured that any funds they receive will be used most judiciously.
CSI reaches around the world with the most pressing needs...I know that my monthly contribution is being used properly and is also being put to the best use!...Blessings!!
Compassion Services International is consistently one of the first responders in crisis situations both in North America and abroad. They have people who step right in to assist in whatever way is needed. For instance, temporary shelter, medical assistance, food, water, clothing and blankets or other necessary items. They also have a great team at the ready to help with the cleanup after a tornado or other disasters. I feel confident that my donations are used for the need.

CSI is a great organization! I feel comfortable donating because I've seen them in action. They have a mobile response team who brings needed items and help after natural disasters and it's easy to donate specifically to a certain area or crisis. Their website is very user friendly and informative.
The team at CSI has a heart for the victims of disaster and to be a blessing to those in desperate need. Their heart drives them to stewardship excellence combined with excellence in delivery.
Some help by going some by giving! Not only do the people at CSI help overseas but they are concerned about us right here in the USA. I am thankful for all they do. Some day I hope to be a part of the doing and not just the giving. Thank you CSI!
I have given to this charity several times for others who are hurting and in pain. This is one of the best ways the Lord can use people to help others.
Compassion Services International sends out requests for help within hours of major American and foreign disasters. They truly have a servants heart and do their best to ensure the funds donated get past any greedy hands and into the hands of those in need. 5 stars!
I wanted an efficient, effective way of donating for natural disaster relief and Compassion services international was able to do that.
Compassion Services is very careful to properly steward the resources they are given. I took a CSI trip to Oklahoma to help with tornado recovery.
As the pastor of a church, we look for organizations that will meet the immediate needs of people experiencing tragedy and not use donated funds to cover the cost of their operating expenses. CSI acts quickly to get funds, services, or materials into the hands of the people who need them most.
My husband and I are volunteers in the Medical side of Compassion Services International. This organization goes beyond the call of duty and meets the needs of many individuals, some of whom might not receive care otherwise. I remember working with the CSI team in Haiti after the earthquake- a small child was brought to our clinic because of an earache. Green, oozy puss was draining from the affected ear. My assistant and I were able to clean the ear, inspect the eardrum and make recommendations for healing. If we had not been in that particular village at that time, the child's hearing might have been lost. CSI is truly making a difference in lives! My husband and I are eager to volunteer more!
I love compassion services international and have donated twice and will definately be donating again.
CSI built a clinic here in Liberia. We see an average of about 500 patients monthly. They also came here with two doctors who served hundred of patients in one week.
My experience with Compassion Services International was a very delightful one. Great people with compassion towards the needy.
For several years, my family and I have made Compassion Services International our number one choice for helping with disaster relief and humanitarian aid. We are very thankful for their excellent work and willingness to go and to make a difference where needed urgently on behalf of all of us who support them.
As a missionary in Haiti from 1989 until 2003 I was privileged to see Compassion Services International in its infancy. During our 14 years there they provided help for schools, feeding programs and clinics. When the 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti on January 12, 2010 I was a part of an emergency response team sent by CSI to asses the situation and make preparations for supplies and medical teams to come in. I was contacted by CSI just a matter of hours after the tragedy. We were on the ground within 48 hours of the earthquake. In just a matter of days CSI was able to get medical teams and supplies to the hardest hit areas. CSI with its staff and volunteers has proven over and over again their willingness to put themselves in harms way to bring help to the hurting both around the world and here in the U.S.
This is a great organization that truly represents the love of God to all people in all situations. It is very well run and professional and responsive to any and all questions and concerns and I'm proud to be a supportive donor of this organization.
Compassion Services International, CSI, fully lives up to its name: Compassion sees the need, Service acts upon the need, International expresses its "no borders", "no limitations" need awareness. Of all available disaster response services, CSI is my primary donation avenue.
CSI joined our missions group in Haiti. They set up medical clinics and provided medications and food for the needy. CSI has been on the ground in Oklahoma after the tornados, provided funds for food in Greece, and many other humanitarian efforts. CSI is about compassion, giving, and serving.
CSI is a well-run organization with a heart for the hurting! I have been impressed time and again by their readiness to respond when disaster strikes.
Compassion Services International has a network of committed volunteers in almost 200 countries and is on the ground almost immediately when a disaster strikes. I've watched their efforts in the Japanese tsunami, Oklahoma tornadoes, Hurricane Sandy, the Chilean earthquakes, and so many more. Thankful for the selfless effort of this group.
So proud to support Compassion Services International! Boots on the ground, in the heart of the storm, when people need help the most. Great organization, doing great work!!
This organization has been helping people all over the world with a complete desire to show compassion and love towards people. On many occasions I have donated funds because I truly believe in their trustworthiness of delivering the services and help needed in many disaster zones. I rank them on par with Samaritans Purse and World Vision. Deeds aren't done for recognition but simply to care.
Last year, I had the opportunity to travel to Haiti with Compassion Services International. During that time I was able to help at different clinics and orphanages. I will never forget the looks on the faces of those as we helped then, but I will also never forget as they paid us back in their friendship. Compassion Services International gave me the opportunity to not only help those in Haiti, but to get to know the people and the culture.
This organization helps not only fellow North Americans, but also the people in need around the world. Whenever there is a calamity, CSI is always ready to help. I never trusted any other non-profit organizations like how I trust and believe in CSI... they are an amazing group of people and working with them was an honour.
I went to Haiti with a group of young people and CSI, and I was amazed at how giving and loving this organization is. I know that each treatment, bag of food and toys were such a blessing to all of those people who would usually go without. It was a blessing for me to be a part of that, and without Compassion I wouldn't have been able to do that.

Amber, thank you so much for your kind words about CSI! Having you as part of the Haiti trip was a joy! We appreciate your continued support. Couldn't do it without you!

Thank you so much for your positive words. It truly is because of people like you that we are able to do what we do! We appreciate you so very much!
