Compassion Commission – REALIZE

Today is the first day of a week long youth convention called Compassion Commission. More than 200 young people are coming to Baltimore, Maryland to help rebuild a home. By the end of the week on Saturday, July 11th, they will have the house complete and the keys will be given to a family who has never owned a home before. This is the 7th year for Compassion Commission and this is the 7th home given away. In the streets of Baltimore, like many other cities, kids are killing kids, kids are getting pregnant or strung out on drugs. These young people coming together this week realize that they can make a difference by giving of their time and talents to serve the city of Baltimore.

Not only are they working on the house, they will also be visiting 11 other locations to do what you can call acts of kindness or what we call COMPASSION. They will be feeding homeless people, painting and restoring a few recreation centers, planting gardens, painting a bus that we will call the Compassion Bus and so much more. Realize that just like these young people will come here to Baltimore to make a difference you can make a difference in your sphere of influence. Realize that without you, someone else’s needs may not be met. That is our desire to impart to the next generation of young people. Take a peek at their video. They put the video commercial together and they have used it to help get the word out about Compassion Commision. At the end of the week, we will Commission these young people to take back the vision, the passion and their experience to their cities and use Compassion to transform their cities! REALIZE!
