Compassion International and YouVersion Partner on Guided Scripture 'Takeover'
Collaboration invites believers to attend to the needs of 'the least of these' Colorado Springs, Colorado--(Newsfile Corp. - May 22, 2025) - Compassion International, a leading child development organization, is partnering with YouVersion to encourage Gospel-minded believers to live as "Unto Jesus." As part of its ongoing "Unto Jesus," initiative, Compassion CEO and President Jimmy Mellado along with several Compassion alumni - formerly sponsored children who overcame poverty through participation in Compassion's child development program - will be featured in the Guided Scripture experience, inside YouVersion's Bible App, starting today and running through Sunday. YouVersion is known for creating biblically centered, culturally relevant experiences that encourage and challenge people to seek God throughout each day.

Together, we're inviting people not only to know Jesus more deeply, but to follow Him more fully in their daily lives." According to Andrew Kooman, Compassion Brand Partnership Lead, the ministry's research indicates believers are seeking a deeper understanding of scripture and believes this is a perfect opportunity to provide richer, meaningful insights. Compassion participants will focus on the parable of the Sheep and the Goats, with each day focusing on specific verses. As part of the "Unto Jesus," initiative, Compassion is also making several resources available to help people delve deeper to include: Devotional Plan A thoughtfully curated plan to guide participants in daily reflections and spiritual growth, available on YouVersion. Activity Planner: Practical tools and ideas to help families live out their faith in everyday moments.
