Compassion Works Ministry

CWM is a "Forgiveness Advocacy" ministry. We believe that ALL are sinners (ROMANS- 3:23) & each of us are in need of God's complete and undeserved forgiveness. As Christians, yet sinners saved only by the sacrficial blood of our Savior Jesus Christ, we are obligated not to refuse others that very forgiveness which is vital to renewed hope and in turn essential to overcoming a shameful past and opportunities for life change possibilities(Mark 11:26 kjv).

2 Corinthians 5:17 - Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new crearture: the old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
