Global Missions
Jeremiah's Hope - Ukraine
NEEDS
• There are over 150,000 orphan children in Ukraine.
• Of the orphans who leave the orphanage each year, 10% will commit suicide within one year.
• Following their years in the orphanage, 60% of the girls will end up involved in prostitution and 70% of the boys will enter a life of crime.
• “IF” they are fortunate enough to attend trade school, only 27% of them will find work following their graduation from trade or technical school.
• Only 10% of orphans are due to the death of their parents.
• The remaining 90% are social orphans – due to alcoholism, abandonment, financial incapability or imprisonment of their parents.
MINISTRY SCOPE
Our ministry takes shape through village outreach, orphanage outreach, camps, a Rescue Shelter and training conferences which all feed into our desire to lead orphans and at-risk youth into a relationship with Jesus Christ!

International Justice Mission
ABOUT
International Justice Mission protects the poor from violence in the developing world. They partner with local authorities to rescue victims, bring criminals to justice, restore survivors, and strengthen justice systems. IJM’s Justice System transformation programs combat everyday violence against the poor, including slavery, sex trafficking and sexual violence, property grabbing, police abuse of power and citizenship rights abuses. IJM Australia joins in this mission globally and works locally to grow the movement of Australians seeking justice for the oppressed.
A group of members at Holland Park are Justice Advocates for IJM. On a monthly basis we hold sausage sizzles at the church building to raise money for IJM to continue all the great work that they do.
