President and Chief Executive Officer Santiago “Jimmy” Mellado has a deep love and passion
for the beauty and potential of local churches fulfilling their Jesus-given mandate to redeem and
restore this world for His name’s sake. Born in El Salvador and raised in seven different
countries, Jimmy has experienced firsthand the powerful impact thriving local churches can
have on their communities, especially in under-resourced environments. Compassion’s church-
based approach to delivering a holistic child development program resonates with Jimmy at a
deep level.
Prior to joining Compassion in June of 2013, Jimmy was president of the Willow Creek
Association (WCA) – a global ministry completely dedicated to helping local churches thrive.
During his 20-year tenure leading the WCA, worldwide ministry income grew from $2 million to
more than $20 million and membership grew from 860 churches to over 7,000 churches.
Jimmy was key in launching and hosting The Global Leadership Summit. The Summit is an
annual not-for-profit event created to address the dire need for excellent leadership training in
local churches and other people-centered organizations around the world. One of its highest
values has been an insatiable desire to learn from many of the world’s top leaders and most
gifted communicators. The Summit shares leadership insights from a variety of voices and
disciplines – from corporate CEOs, heads of state, leaders in academia, leaders within the
church, and leaders from the not-for-profit sector. By the time Jimmy completed his last Summit
in 2013, the event spanned 100 countries and reached an audience of 170,000 attendees with
this valuable training.
Jimmy’s educational background includes graduating cum laude with a Mechanical Engineering
degree from Southern Methodist University (SMU) in Dallas, Texas and a Master of Business
Administration from the Harvard Business School.
He is also an accomplished athlete. In college, Jimmy was a member of the 1983 NCAA
Division I Indoor & Outdoor National Championship team at SMU where he competed in the
decathlon and held the school record. After college, Jimmy went on to place 4th at the 1987 Pan
American Games and 26th in the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games, competing for the country of his
birth, El Salvador. He has continued to stay engaged with the sport he loves by serving as a
volunteer track and field coach.
Jimmy is married to Leanne and they have two daughters and a son.

In the pages that follow, you’ll read more about the heart that
motivates our work and the mechanisms that enable it, as well

We are a child-advocacy ministry pairing
compassionate people with children living in extreme
poverty to release the children from spiritual, economic,
social, and physical poverty.
It’s a mission that drives us because the need is
desperate. Ten percent of the world lives on $1.90 a
day or less. Our hearts break for the millions of children
who suffer from lack of resources, but we rejoice
because there is hope.
We at Compassion know that the transformative power
of Christ’s love is not bound by nationality or economic
status. Unified by this conviction, our increasingly
diverse staff uses our talents and experience to serve
more than two million children in 25 countries.

13. 13
For more than 65 years we have worked to develop children
into all God intends them to be. We are advocates for children,
working to release them from the shackles of poverty. Through
a holistic approach to child development, we carefully blend
physical, social, economic and spiritual care together…in
Jesus' name. It is an approach that has been scientifically
proven to be effective.
On average, a child we minister to spends 4,000 hours in
safe, nurturing programs, is at least 50 percent more
likely to graduate college and is 35 percent more likely to
find white-collar employment as an adult.
Our response to a world in need filled with millions of children
living in poverty is simple: Love like Jesus did. Serve in Jesus'
name.
Children are particularly vulnerable to the physical threats of
poverty as well as its emotional and spiritual messages of
worthlessness. By working in Jesus' name we speak
messages of love and hope.
What We Do
2021
S E R V I N G I N J E S U S ’ N A M E

14. 14
We do all of our work through partnerships with thousands of
local churches in 25 countries around the world.
Local churches are catalysts for community change,
optimizing the mutual respect, resources and common
purpose critical in caring for children in poverty.
We work in partnership with local churches because we desire
to equip the Church to fulfill its role as salt and light to the
world.
A local church is best suited to address the needs of the
children in its community because the church is already
located in and involved in the community. Only the local
church can effectively deliver the Jesus-based teaching and
whole-life care that children in poverty deserve.
It is our honor to walk alongside local churches as they share
the love of Jesus in their neighborhoods. We trust the
Church's ability to create an environment of unparalleled
stability where children experience God's love and acceptance
in tangible ways.
