Converge Worldwide (BGC) has always been involved in ministries of compassion to the needy here at home and around the world.  Local churches have stepped out into their communities touching those experiencing hardship with the compassionate love of Christ.  Our International missionaries as well have engaged in everything from medical and education ministries to micro-finance, emergence relief and water development.  In June 2006 with the launching of Compassion Ministries, Converge Worldwide (BGC) boldly stated that we must be more committed and more intentional in demonstrating the love of Christ to the world.

As Christ-followers moved by God's love, we ­understand the important connection between demonstrating the love of Jesus and sharing the Good News about Jesus. Compassion Ministries ­include:

From The Message: Isaiah 58: 6-9
"This is the kind of fast day I'm after:
clearSpacer15X10to break the chains of injustice,
clearSpacer15X10get rid of exploitation in the workplace,
clearSpacer15X10free the oppressed,
clearSpacer15X10cancel debts.
What I'm interested in seeing you do is:
clearSpacer15X10sharing your food with the hungry,
clearSpacer15X10inviting the homeless poor into your homes,
clearSpacer15X10putting clothes on the shivering ill-clad,
clearSpacer15X10being available to your own families.
Do this and the lights will turn on,
clearSpacer15X10and your lives will turn around at once.
