Compassion Protestant Society - Proposal and Report writer

About CPS   Compassion Protestant Society  

In recent years, the National Evangelical Synod in Syria and Lebanon (NESSL, http://synod-sl.org) has widened the scope and intensity of its development and humanitarian work. The foundation of CPS is our effort to establish the diaconal ministry of the Synod on the foundation of an international NGO that can respond to the needs of the poor and marginalized in Syria and Lebanon most efficiently.

While a separate entity, CPS will organically act as the welfare arm of the Synod, building and drawing on its strengths, historical experience, and partnerships. CPS will grow to be a key provider of humanitarian and development projects that are deeply contextualized, efficient and impactful, inspired and driven by love and grace, and implemented according to the highest international standards.
