Have you ever wanted to go on an international mission trip or experience how people
live in other parts of the world but perhaps don’t have the time or the means? The Compassion
Experience is coming to Southside UMC!
The Compassion Experience allows guests to take an immersive tour through replicas of the homes, environments, and stories of two children who have been a part of Compassion’s program. Each guest is equipped with an iPod Touch and headphones to guide them through the Experience. At the end of the tour, guests enter a World Impact Room where they can view photos and information about children of all ages who are waiting for sponsors. As God leads, guests have the opportunity to sponsor one (or more!) of these precious children on the spot.
The Compassion Experience is an opportunity to open you and your families eyes to another world without leaving your city. This event is free and open to the public, no reservation needed. All ages are encouraged to come take part in the Experience.
