Who We Are

Compassion Works Ministry was born of a condition of heart. As an "Ex-Offender" and new creation in Jesus Christ, CWM Founder Russ Luncsford utilizes his gift of artistry in service to God advocating forgiveness of "Ex-Offenders" with the same shameful past he himself has had that they may receive the very hope that is essential to them and their families for a changed life and brighter future.

Our Vision

Compassion Works is a "Forgiveness Advocacy" ministry. We understand as Christians we are yet sinners saved only by the sacrficial blood of our Savior Jesus Christ and are therefor obligated as such not to refuse others that very forgiveness which is vital to renewed hope and in turn essential to overcoming a shameful past and opportunities for life change possibilities(Mark 11:26 kjv, Matt 18:23-35).

Types Of Activity

Utilizing the gifted artistry of CWM founder Russ Luncsford attempts are made via various avenues and mediums to communicate the humanity of prisoners, ex-prisoners, and there families; the vitality of forgiveness in it's relation to hope and how hope is essential to the life changes necessary for a brighter, more beneficial future for not only the former offender but to community safety as well.
