In the mid 90's, both Andrew and Jenny Kelly were working in Ukraine doing summer camps for orphans. While they each were affiliated with different ministries, they both came with a desire to share Jesus with orphans at a camp.
Over time, God has placed upon both of their hearts a common passion for Christian camping. Both Andrew and Jenny gave their lives to Christ while at a summer Christian camp as teenagers. Both of them also came to Ukraine as part of a camp mission team. Now, God is using that passion and a dream He has placed in their hearts to build a Christian camp in Ukraine.
In August of 2007, God made it possible for Jeremiah's Hope to purchase 1.75 hectares of land in Kolentzi, Ukraine just outside of town of Ivankiv. Closely located to Kiev, just 45 minutes north, the land will make an ideal gathering place for Christians from across Ukraine.

It is our prayer that God would fan the flame and grow the dream to develop this camp to reach out to thousands of orphans and children from across Ukraine for generations to come!
