Cyndi Bradbury, Project Compassion co-founder, worked within the hospital environment for more than twenty-five (25) years. Her passion in 1990 was Labor and Delivery - the participation in the bringing of life! In the early 1990's, she suffered a rare illness that forced her to leave work for a while, but it did not stop her passion for life. During this time the ministry of Project Compassion was founded, and over the next five years, hundreds of medical clinics were conducted in Mexico providing care to thousands of people. It became so successful that in 1995 Project Compassion reached out to other nations and brought teams for a week at a time to Central and South America, seeing hundreds on each trip. She was then attacked with cancer, and forced to leave hospital employment. She endured surgery, four rounds of chemo, and stem cell transplant and radiation therapy over the next five years through recurrence after recurrence. Not working at the hospital allowed her to give full time attention to Project Compassion, and the ministry grew tremendously! During that period she went on every trip except two, and has lead people all over the world including the Americas, Pacific Isles, Africa, Asia, and Europe. What was meant for destruction was turned to building the Kingdom through a unique woman with a powerful life.
