Day #1 - The $20 Challenge - Orphanage Outreach

Jeremiah's Hope has been serving children in 3 orphanages for the past several years. Thanks to the support of our sponsors, we have been able to minister to children in orphanages in Ivankiv, Mariupol and Uglegorsk! To continue our ministry, we need YOUR help! 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 ?

* Due to a generous donor, all monies donated during The $20 Challenge will be matched dollar for dollar.

Misha Needs YOUR Support...

Misha Dermelyov was born June 9th, 1997 in Uglegorsk, Ukraine. Due to birth complications, he had surgery at just 10 days old to repair his stomach. Due to this, he is classified by the Ukrainian government as disabled (even though he is a very healthy, active, young man).

Nothing is known of Misha's father. His mother died 3 years ago from a heart attack. Misha had two older sisters born in 1985 and 1988. Misha lived with the oldest sister. In 2010 his sister died from a heart attack and the second sister died a couple of months later. Misha was sent to a shelter in Yenakiyevo.

It was here at this shelter where our ministry team first met Misha. Tanya, our administrator, was asked to pick him up and take him to the orphanage in August or September last year. Since then Misha has lived in the orphanage in Mariupol and has come to the church on Sunday with other orphanage kids.

He likes to play soccer, computer games and watch TV. He can embroider well.

Would YOU be willing to help support Misha as he continues his education at a trade school and lives in our transitional living center? To support Misha, contact us at donations@jeremiahshope.org

Yana Needs YOUR Support...

Yana Senyak was born on October 31, 1995 in Mariupol, Ukraine. She lived most of her life with her mother as the identity of her father is unknown. In 2007, her mother died and an aunt took guardianship over her for two years but could no longer take care of Yana. in 2009, Yana went to the orphanage in Mariupol.

Yana is an average student. She likes sports, singing and dancing. She is enrolled in a trade school and will be studying to become a crane operator.

At this time we have 0 support for Yana. Would you consider helping support her with a gift of $25, $50 or $75 a month? If you would like to help meet this need, contact us at donations@jeremiahshope.org

* It costs Jeremiah's Hope an average of $300 per month to meet the physical and material needs of the teens who live in our transitional living center.

"Sasha Project" Kids Receive School Supply Kits...

Yesterday, Jenny began her fall visits to the children who are a part of our "Sasha Project." This year, we have over 80 children registered as a part of the "Sasha Project." With the new school year fast approaching, we began the visits by delivering school supplies to the children. Thanks to the generosity of Northside Church of Christ in San Antonio, TX, we were able to give each child a full set of school supplies to help them begin their new year!
