Day #8 - "The $20 Challenge" - Meet the Kids Who Would be Served by the Rescue Shelter...

Yesterday, we shared with you about the Rescue Shelter which will open on the camp property next spring. The Rescue Shelter is going to help us house children in crisis. This past summer, Andrew & Jenny Kelly served as "Foster Parents" for 8 children who were in emergency situations. With the help of others, these kids were cared for during the summer and then many were adopted out into Christian homes.

"The $20 Challenge" - Update on Total Raised To Date...

THANK YOU to all who have donated! Please watch the videos over the next 3 days and prayerfully consider donating to the challenge!

Day #7 - "The $20 Challenge" - Building a Rescue Shelter

Hundreds of children in the Ivankiv region of Ukraine suffer through lives of despair each day. For many, their lives are marked by abuse, abandonment and poverty. There is little that Social Services can do and with the recent closure of the government orphanage, there are no housing solutions other than leaving these children to continue living in this horrendous situations. The board of Jeremiah's Hope recently approved the use of the new cabin on the camp property to be used, year round, as a Rescue Shelter for up to 12 children at a time.

The Rescue Shelter will allow us to serve these children in an emergency, and often critical situation. However, we need your help to furnish the facility and make it "home."

Day #6 - "The $20 Challenge" - Transitional Living Center for Orphanage Graduates

In 2004, Jeremiah's Hope opened a transitional living center in Mariupol, Ukraine. Designed to help orphanage graduates as they transitioned from dependent orphanage life to independent living, the TLC has ministered to over 40 orphan teens. Many of those teens are Christians today!

Watch the video and see what the Lord is doing!

Take the Challenge TODAY! These teens lives depend of people like you taking a moment and donating $20, basically the cost of lunch! Help us help these teens!

Day #5 - "The $20 Challenge" - Kolentsi Village Church Plant

We are excited to announce that a small church plant began in the village of Kolentsi this past September. This is a joint initiative between Jeremiah's Hope, Ukraine Mission Work and the Obolon Church of Christ. Men from the Obolon Church of Christ spend a day or two each week in our village reaching out to our community. Receptivity has been awesome and we are averaging a dozen each time we gather for worship. Watch this short video to learn more...

TAKE THE CHALLENGE TODAY and help us continue to provide a meeting place for this small church plant and the support which they need as they begin worshiping together!

Day #4 - "The $20 Challenge" - Abandoned Babies...

“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these, you did for me.’ (Matthew 25:40)

Four years ago, when we began out ministry in Ivankiv, Ukraine, we did not know what the Lord had in store for us. Within weeks of living in the area, we received a call from Social Services asking us to help them meet the needs of almost a dozen abandoned babies and toddlers at the local pediatric hospital. Since that time, Jeremiah's Hope has been a partner to the Ivankiv Hospital, providing many of the basic needs of the abandoned babies as they are brought into the hospital and kept until they are placed in an orphanage. Watch the video below...

Help us help the truly innocent children of Ukraine! They deserve to be provided for and loved!

Day #3 - "The $20 Challenge" - Pine Branch Christian Camp

Pine Branch Christian Camp is our newly built camp north of Kiev, Ukraine. The camp is fast becoming a ministry hub where we are able to host and minister to over 300 orphans and at-risk youth each summer. It is a place where we do retreats for children in our "Sasha Project" and is also where a new church plant is being started.

Your $20 donation helps us provide for these children while they are at camp. The majority of these children arrive with just a few old, dirty pieces of clothing in a plastic grocery bag. The camp provides clothing, shoes and hygiene supplies for each child. Pine Branch Christian Camp has become a place of refuge for many of these children. Will YOU help a child in need today?

Day #2 - The $20 Challenge - "The Sasha Project"

Today is day #2 of our challenge! The children we serve through "The Sasha Project" are some of the poorest children in Ukraine. Many of their families are being destroyed by alcoholism and the children are the unfortunate victims. Will you be one of the 10 people who TAKE THE CHALLENGE today and help us to be able to continue to serve these amazing kids?

Day #1 - The $20 Challenge - Orphanage Outreach

Jeremiah's Hope has been serving children in 3 orphanages for the past several years.

It is a simple donation, but will we find 10 people each day (100 people in total) willing to donate $20 or more one time?

Also, thanks to a recent pledge, all donations made during the $20 Challenge will be matched $1 for $1. So, let the $20 Challenge begin!

The $20 Challenge is Coming!

The $20 Challenge is coming! So, get ready!

Beginning Saturday, November 12th and going for 10 days, we will be challenging our friends and ministry partners to give $20 to help support Jeremiah's Hope. Each day, we will post a new video with a specific focus on an aspect of our ministry and pray that God would lead 10 people to give that day.

We are not asking that you give every day (but you can if you want!), we are asking that you give ONE DAY. If you feel led to give, come back to this blog and donate.

Will you take The $20 Challenge ?
