OUR MISSION

Reach the lost, make disciples, and put Compassion into Action.

What we do

Through our Gospel Trucks, we take the message of Jesus to the streets—reaching cities, campuses, and communities with hope and salvation. Internationally, we send passionate evangelistic teams to partner with ministries that are committed to winning souls and planting churches. Through our online school of Compassion to Action, we train and equip believers to live missionally, share the Gospel with boldness, and make disciples wherever they go.

Compassion to
Action’s Core Values

Compassion To Action is committed to action with the Gospel, living these values out boldly, joyfully, and urgently—because Jesus is worthy and there is an urgency to reach people with the Gospel and demonstrate the Kingdom of God.

    • Jesus was moved with compassion.

    • Compassion is the motivation behind the action we take.

    • This core value calls us to love deeply and act courageously.

    [Matthew 9:36 | John 3:16-17]

    • We preach because we’re convinced the Gospel is God’s power for salvation.

    • Conviction gives courage, clarity, and boldness to point people to Jesus. Jesus is the only way.

    [Romans 1:16 | John 3:16 | John 14:6]

    • Obedience to the Spirit of God transforms lives.

    • Obedience is not always loud or public, but it is powerful.

    • Obedience is worship—it reveals a yielded heart.

    [John 14:15 | 1 Samuel 15:22 | Luke 11:28]

    • The Holy Spirit is the greatest evangelist.

    • He convicts, teaches, and guides us into truth.

    • We must partner with Him in every conversation and moment.

    [Acts 1:8 | John 16:8, 13]

    • Honor gives value and worth to every person.

    • We honor others by sharing the Gospel and by how we speak and serve them. People are not projects.

    [Romans 12:10 | Colossians 4:6]

    • Jesus preached and demonstrated the Kingdom.

    • We’re not just sharing forgiveness—we’re proclaiming a King and His Kingdom.

    [Matthew 4:17 | Mathew 5]

    • Faith pleases God.

    • We live and preach by faith, not by feelings.

    [Hebrews 11:6 | 2 Corinthians 5:7 | Galatians 2:20]

    • Jesus gave His disciples power and authority.

    • We owe the world an encounter, not just a message.

    [Luke 9:1–2 | Romans 1:16 | 1 Corinthians 2:4]

    • The joy of the Lord is our strength.

    • Joy is a fruit of the Spirit and a weapon against despair.

    [Nehemiah 8:10 | Galatians 5:22-23]

    • The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.

    • It’s not dread, but loving what He loves and hating what He hates.

    [Proverbs 9:10 | Psalm 25:14]

    • The Word is not suggestive—it is life and truth.

    • We don’t edit Scripture to fit culture; we preach it faithfully.

    [Hebrews 4:12 | Psalm 119:89 | Isaiah 40:8]

    • There is a real heaven and a real hell.

    • We reject universalism and annihilationism. 

    • Our urgency is fueled by eternal realities.

    [Matthew 25:41,46 | Revelation 21:8 | Mathew 10:28 | 2 Thessalonians 1:9 | Jude 1:7 | John 5:24]

    • We equip the saints and collaborate for greater harvest.

    • Evangelism is not solo—it’s a team sport.

    [Ephesians 4:11–12 | Psalm 133:3]
