In November 2012, Tony Campolo received a
Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Youth Worker’s Convention.
The wording on the award is: “Award of Lifetime Achievement is proudly
presented to Tony Campolo who has defined and courageously pioneered
what is means to encourage, care and lead students, possessing the
qualities that inspire us and provoke us to continue the journey into
the future with boldness and confidence. As a result of Tony’s life of
ministry and leadership he has left a legacy of encouragement and hope
to youth workers and students everywhere.”
When the presentation was given, a great
mention of Tony’s work with Compassion International was made and
Compassion asked to be able to say thank you to Tony for the lifetime of
child sponsorships he has helped to make possible. At this link, is the thank you video.
