Real estate agent. Musician. Student. Photographer. Mom. Dad. Single. Their lives may vary, but one thing Compassion Bloggers have in common: they’re using their influence in the blogosphere to transform the lives of children in poverty worldwide.
They’re posting banner ads. Telling compelling stories that inspire their readers to sponsor a child. And they’re traveling halfway around the world to see firsthand how Compassion International is releasing more than 1,000,000 children in undeveloped countries from spiritual, economic, social and physical poverty. Read their stories. And find out how you and your blog can make an eternal difference in the life of a child.
From April 26th to May 2nd, five bloggers will witness firsthand the ministry of Compassion International to the poor of East India.
Visit the India trip page daily to travel across the world to the impoverished neighborhoods of Kolkata through their stories, pictures and videos - and rediscover hope.
Stop by Pete's blog and welcome to the trip, and please begin praying for him and his family (his wife and three boys) now as they begin to prepare in every way for the journey at the end of April.
Space is very limited. No more than five bloggers will go on this trip. Please do not sign up to be considered unless you have over 30,000 visits to your blog each month, you and your spouse/employer are in agreement about your going on the trip, and your blog is not exclusively political in nature.

Compassion Blogger Brad Ruggles is giving Compassion International the shirt off his back. Er, sorta. Brad is a sought after designer who decided to create a great looking shirt, the sale of which will go to Compassions' Global Food Crisis Fund.
Thanks, Brad for your creative contribution to the developing world. Doing something creative with your blog on behalf of Compassion International? Let us know.
