Making Tampa Bay a Welcoming Place for Missionary Families

What is Compass?

Compass Ministries is dedicated to providing quality counseling and support services to missionaries and their families. Our counselors understand the unique challenges of living in a missionary setting and are passionate about helping Christian Global Workers and their families navigate those challenges.  We offer our services at the lowest cost or free, depending on the individual's needs. Our mission is to offer hope and healing to those who need it most and support them in every stage of their missionary journey.

How You Can Help

To keep our services to Missionary families at the lowest cost or free, we rely on your financial partnership. Our part is to provide the best quality care to those who are active in the frontlines, as well as those who finished their term. We do this by maintaining seasoned Counselors, Coaches and Spiritual Directors in our team, operate at the lowest overhead cost as possible, and use alternative revenue streams to keep our programs running. Will you be a Compass Ministries friend and partner with us to help keep Missionary families be mentally, emotionally, and spiritually effective in the field and at home?

World of Hope

Mental Health Awareness Month

We launched our fundraising efforts to fund the second half of the year. Our World of Hope fundraising campaign began on May 3rd with our annual banquet held at Tampa Covenant Church, and continues for the month of May. Our goal is to raise $50,000.00 by the end of May to continue providing services to missionaries overseas and those who are coming home.

Would you consider supporting this fundraising effort and help us meet this financial goal?

"I appreciated having 'third party' people to debrief that were not from my missions org or supporting church. Thank you very much for your heart to serve missionaries in transition."

- M.M., missionary to the Middle East

"Their ministry to us became weaved into the broader story of God's healing of our family in areas we were unaware of any need. They have a unique calling to fill a scarcely met need of missionaries - emotional and psychological support."  

- A Missionary

In our ongoing efforts to support and enhance the work of missionaries operating in vulnerable and often unsafe regions, it is crucial to emphasize the importance of protecting their identities. The missionaries who provide testimonies about their experiences and the impact of their work do so under challenging circumstances. These areas frequently face political instability, persecution, and heightened risks due to their humanitarian efforts.

Ensuring anonymity not only safeguards the personal safety of these individuals but also allows them to speak freely about their experiences without fear of retribution or negative consequences. This protection is essential for maintaining the integrity of their mission and for fostering open communication about the challenges and successes they encounter.
