Rural Compassion's mission is to train, mentor, and coach rural pastors, churches, and communities to find ways to break the cycle of poverty in their community and have a life changing impact. Training consists of helping these communities find resources and services within their own community. Rural Compassion provides some tangible resources and supplies for churches to use as connection points to serve their community. Rural Compassion also responds to natural disasters in rural towns with resources and labor to help communities with the restoration process.
