A Note from our Director
Be a Blessing to Others!
Dear Friends,
Thank you for taking time to visit Compassion for Others. The heart, soul and purpose of CFO is to show our love for God and our love for each other. Every day in our life we see opportunities where we can be an inspiration to someone else. We can do so by sharing a smile or a kind word that encourages them. We never know the struggle or difficulty someone is facing or experiencing in their own life. Our kindness shown to someone having a "bad day" will always lead to something good happening. They will most likely remember you for the uplift you gave to them. These are only a few ways to show others our kindness. Let's make this world a better place. May you be blessed as you seek to serve the Lord.
Sincerely,
Ralph V. Durham, Jr.

A "Thank you" Note from a Cottage Houseparent
"Dear Compassion for Others,
Thank you for coming out to the Church of God Children’s Home recently. You brought not only smiles to our children’s lives but also filled their stomachs with food that they LOVE! What kid doesn’t love Chick-fil-A and cookies?? And then you out-did yourselves by adding an amazing gift card for each kiddo on campus!! Wow!! I know from my own kids how much they appreciate it and how much they are excited to have something that is uniquely theirs and for them to pick out school clothing with, I can only imagine how the other kiddos feel. You have brought happiness and joy to our campus through your gift of generosity and we want to take this moment to say thank you and ask God to bless you. We also ask God to meet your greatest need in your life, your families’ lives and in your ministry. We ask God to give back 10 fold what you have given to our Home. Again, thank you for your generosity and time.
May God Bless You

Western North Carolina Flood Relief
On September 27, 2024, the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina were devastated by Hurricane Helene. Many families and communities across WNC were impacted by this one storm. The destructive power of Helene changed lives forever. Now, over a year later, small towns and communities are still making efforts to recover. Please consider uniting with CFO Ministries with a generous gift that will be used to touch the lives and bless those in need. We all have an ability to make a difference!
As we reach out in the spirit of love to help another in need, we are blessed just by doing so. CFO Ministries will use every gift received (100%) to help where there are needs. Your donations to CFO Ministries are tax-deductible. Please, take a moment to view our FAQ/Activities page and learn more about this ministry. Thank you for your gifts.
