CAMPUS COMPASSION
Global Aid Network® (GAiN®) has a campus ministry program to help university students learn about and demonstrate the love of God through word and deed to less fortunate people around the world. We accomplish this by creating opportunities for college students to live out the Great Command and the Great Commission both here in the U.S. and abroad.
