ABOUT US

Barry and Penny Compton, founders of Open Door Ministries, have been married since 1980. They have four children: Lauren, Branden, Camren, And Brentyn.

After just 17 months, their son Branden was diagnosed with a rare genetic disease that was progressive and had no cure. At the age of 8, Branden's life ended on earth. It was during those difficult years of sickness and sorrow that Barry and Penny got passionate with God. Faithful as God is, He rekindled the fascination for missions they both recalled having as children. In faith, the Comptons began serving on many short-term missionary teams. God kept speaking to them about the children in these remote areas.

Through Open Door Ministries, which is a non-profit missions program, Barry and Penny have become determined to see the cycle of godlessness, lack of education, and extreme need for the basic necessities broken. They believe that you can help break the cycle by reaching out to the children!

Penny and Barry believe people want to know where their financial investment goes and what it's being used for. They believe, as many people do, that donations should go towards the good of the children, not corporate largesse. At Open Door Ministries, administrative costs are almost entirely paid for by the founders, not from donations!
