Cause Funded & Completed – An Update from Compassion International

Date Posted: 04/10/2026

We're excited to share that this church in Guatemala not only reached its goal—but exceeded it! A partner church of Compassion in the United States contributed a generous gift to support this cause. The page now shows that the cause is fully funded with "$0 raised." This is simply because the original goal has been met through a direct donation outside of the Compassion Causes website. The funds have been distributed accordingly, and the cause has been completed! Any funds raised for this cause above the original goal were directed to the Finish Line Fund, which helps other causes reach full funding—extending the impact even further. Here is what El Shalom Student Center & Church shared about the implementation of the cause: "Please receive a cordial greeting on behalf of our Child Development Center, may our Lord Jesus continue to pour his abundant blessings in your lives. We want to tell you that we are so thankful for the gift that we received, with which we could buy 110 square tubes, 840 metal tin sheets for the construction of a roofed space to improve the look of our Child Development Center and church so the children will see the nice facilities and that they have a comfortable place to have a snack. We thank you for the gift that we received because it was a great blessing for our Child Development Center and church and for the children to have a better environment with a good look. I say goodbye to you with a big hug and lots of blessings, and share with you a beautiful Bible verse, give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, his love endures forever. 1 Chronicles 16:34. Attentively, Joel – Project Director"
