Transformation At Summer Camp

Kiev, Ukraine - When someone risks their life in a sport such as skydiving, they are placing their trust in their parachute. If it does not open, they die. It is entirely different, however, when someone else places your life at risk. By their behavior, your life is in danger. 

Yet this is the situation in Ukraine and other countries today. The lives of young people have been placed at risk due to the abandonment of mothers, fathers or both. Children living with at least one parent have a fighting chance, though slim, toward healthy development. That is where EEO and Mercy Projects U.K. step in. By providing support to at risk young people in those critical years, sponsors are able to turn a bleak future into a bright one. We call it transformation. God calls it redemption.

Hope Remains

For needy families and children in Ukraine, the support of a sponsor is vital to their survival as a family. Mothers do not give their children up to an orphanage in despair, simply due to the love and support of having a sponsor. In this newsletter we learn about Luba's story. If you too would like to help a needy child,  please know that your sponsorship will help keep a child together with their family. Learn more about sponsorship here. 

Hope Remains - Sloshing through the muddy snow covered road, it felt surreal, like a scene from the Boris Pasternak novel, “Dr. Zhivago.”

Antonio had been kept in a cage, ignored, and only handled with gloves. The Gedz not only visited him, they took him home.

Antonio now belongs to them, in a forever family with brothers and sisters who love him. He cannot walk, but he has responded miraculously in many ways. But they didn't stop there. Here is their story.
