At Christian Life Center, we believe in the power of our tithes and offerings. As we approach the Christmas season, we are reminded to ask ourselves, "What if we gave like it was Jesus' birthday?" This question challenges us to embrace a spirit of generosity and sacrifice, just as Jesus Himself exemplified during His time on earth. When we give over and above our tithe, we not only bless others but also honor our Savior who gave everything for us. It is an opportunity to display our love for God and our gratitude for the greatest gift ever given - the gift of salvation. So, as we celebrate this holiday season, let us consider what it truly means to give like it was Jesus' birthday and ask ourselves, What If?

COMPACT aims to provide services and resources that help churches and others redeem vulnerable children and families.

COMPACT envisions extending its continuum of Christ-centered family services including, community, residential, placement and prevention services such as foster homes, group homes, treatment services, training services, intervention services, adoptions and church empowerment as far as the will of God leads and provides.

COMPACT endeavors to equip and resource the Church over the next decade to reach and redeem at least 5% (20,000) of the daily modern orphan need in the United States.

Annually more than 670,000 children pass through the modern orphan system known as foster care in America. A daily average of 435,000 are in the foster care system. Children are growing up without healthy homes and family. In part, here is why.

In his detailed research report book, Families Without Fathers, David Popenoe explains that the U.S. divorce rate has exploded by 1000% in the past Century. He continues that according to U.S. Census statistics since 1960, the out-of-wedlock birth rate in America has exploded by over 800%.

Since the cultural revolution in the 1960’s, immoral social experimentation has eroded human and family health. Unsurprisingly, an American modern orphan crisis (foster care) has evolved; unlike previous lesser orphan problems caused by war or epidemic diseases. Based on the 2010 U.S. Census, it is estimated more than half of America’s children went to bed last night without saying good night to their biological father.

Last year, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 61% of all children removed from their homes and placed into the foster care system was the result of parental neglect and 34% due to parental drug abuse: 47% were white, 21% were black or African American, and 20% were Hispanic (of any race). Several studies show that 50 to more than 90 percent of children who were victims of child sex trafficking had been involved with child welfare services (HHS, ACF, 2013). More than 100,000 persons are sexually trafficked in America.
