Thank you for praying, remembering, supporting us with prayers, your thoughts, and deeds.
This time we are going to tell you about those summer outreach events where workers of the Christian mission Hope to People took an active part. We realize that our efforts will be meaningless unless Christ is in the center.
Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from him. Psalm 62:5

Ministry to Orphans and Children From the Needy Families
Christian outreach camp for orphans and kids from the needy families was held in the Carpathian Mountains. They use the Obedient Heart program for the camp. Our friends from the Second Presbyterian Church, Memphis, USA, serve along with our workers from the educational department and volunteers. Every day in the camp is dedicated to thinking about the personality of Jesus Christ. The teenagers are taught to read the Bible, to pray, to praise God.
Reaching Children During Summer Break
Christian day camps for children are run all summer on the territory of our mission in Rivne, Ukraine. Leaders tried to combine Bible lessons with easily understood life situations in order to show kids their need in the Savior and His love. The first day camp was about a plane crash and saving the affected. The second camp became a fascinating sea voyage together with the Biblical prophet Jonah.
Children’s Ministry in Armenia
Our ministers ran an outreach day camp for children from the Kurdish and Yazidi families coming from the mountain villages. The weather in the mountains can be very surprising, but in spite of rain, hail, and cold wind, children from several villages arrived to the camp. Our ministers are thankful to the Lord for prayers and support of all friends. The Lord blessed and 80 children were able to hear the Gospel.
