Since 2005, Con-solatio has offered young adults a unique opportunity to serve as volunteer missionaries in some of the world's most troubled areas, and to dedicate a year to a ministry of friendship towards those whose hearts are wearied by loneliness and sorrow.

Come Abide compiles excerpts of Con-solatio volunteers' hundreds of raw and consoling letters. These true stories of life-transforming relationships witness to the healing power of a simple presence.
