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.

Success is a changed life, a new heart, hope for the future and determination to work hard and serve others. Hundreds of young people are attending summer camps in Ukraine sponsored by EEO. They are being directly challenged to give their lives to Christ. Their challenge, as at risk children, despite their burdens and abuse they have suffered, is to accept the transformation their counselors talk about.
But who are these counselors? Where do they come from? And why are summer camps so important? We are glad you asked! EEO / Mercy Projects U.K. are excited to announce that a majority of our summer camp counselors are former "at-risk children" who found Christ themselves in summer camp. Today, they desire to serve the Lord and lead a new generation of children to Christ.
