Compassion Ministries

We desire to play our part in helping to reduce poverty, oppression and suffering--- in New York City and the world. We feel that we are very near the heart of God when we break down barriers of class, race and ethnicity by humble service. We hope to make these kinds of encounters a more frequent experience in our community of faith.
