CALM Head Message
Greetings in Christ's matchless name!
How have you been? I am praying that our God keeps His faithfulness evident in your lives while the world faces so much things to bear. Kristohanan nga pagka buhi, ma budlay man apan may paglaum kag kalipay!
Praise the Lord for who He is and for all that He has done, more so for what He is about to do in each of us. Batch 1 CALM trainings was successfully finished because of His bountiful grace. As we are about to embark for another journey with COMPASSION ALUMNI LEADERSHIP MOVEMENT, Batch 2 this year, we are confident that the Lord's hand shall work mightily to all of us in His most amazing and unique way.
By that, as we desire to be a blessing and lead more people in Christ, the CORE TEAM and I are excited to once again witness how CALM bring you to the higher level of leadership training that could assist you with principles that will totally bring transformation first to yourselves, family, church, community and country as responsible and fulfilled Christian leaders who loves Jesus even more.
Let us be encouraged to capture significant learnings and meaningful experiences together. My prayer is that we see the main purpose of this endeavor which is for you to be more prepared in becoming effective instruments in the service of the Lord, being trained and equipped for the Lord's glory alone.
Be teachable, grateful and humble in every process so the patience be developed empowered to become efficient servant godly leaders in every sphere of influence the God shall place you.
Shalom and To God be the glory!
Phil. 1:6 Being confident of this very thing the He who hath begun a good work in you shall bring it into completion in the day that Jesus Christ returns.
In Christ,
Cheering for you,
Ate Kim (s.2023)

The Compassion Alumni Movement in Negros was birthed after a general partnership meeting with Negros alumni and Project Directors in 2017.
The pioneering members initially planned and proposed a leadership curriculum to all Negros 1 youth. The implementation was done per project and the first training was successfully launched with the partnership of PH802 Kabalaka Student Center with the topic “Identity in Christ.” This was soon followed by trainings conducted in PH807 Racham Student Center and PH832 Parakeleo Student Center in 2018. Due to the immense scope of trainings and conflict of schedules, CAM re-assessed the implementation and decided to conduct leadership trainings to selected young people using the 12 Leadership Principles of Compassion International. This was then convened with Negros 1 project facilitator and project directors. This became the first ministry of Compassion Alumni Movement – the Leadership Movement or commonly known as CALM
It’s mission is to equip Negros 1 Youth to become effective and godly servant-leaders. It’s vision is for the youth to be able to complete in the program as exemplary servant-leaders in the church, family, community, and nation; and be able to pass it on. The CALM’s Objectives are: 1) to give back to Compassion through provision of leadership trainings and other support services to the ministry; 2) to bring awareness to Compassion partners, workers, and beneficiaries of the existence of Compassion Alumni Leadership Movement; 3) to effectively and efficiently train Compassion youth to become exemplary godly servant-leaders.
Corresponding meetings were done and the 12 Leadership Principles curriculum was finalized by the CAM Core Team in 2019. The first 5 leadership principles were implemented in an in-person setting. They were:
