UkraineProgram Accomplishments: In 2011 there were over 4,200 students enrolled in New Hope Ukraine's Bible Correspondence Course (BCC) program, including 1,209 new students enrolled this year. Through this ministry, over 110 students wrote to New Hope Ukraine to tell them that they had accepted Christ as Savior this year as a result of working through the courses. New Hope ran twenty-five summer camps for BCC participants, with about 2,100 kids attending. They also prepared an online version of the Bible Correspondence Courses which should become available in 2012. More than 28,000 public school students participated in healthy living classes presented by New Hope Ukraine's lecturers in school-approved sessions using a variety of materials including the "No Apologies" materials written by Focus on the Family. Several thousands of these kids attended follow-up events, such as Bible studies, sporting events, conferences and summer camps, a large number of them eventually attended church services and many of those accepted Christ as their Savior and Lord. New Hope Ukraine's orphan care program is continuing to expand each year, with over 360 orphans and foster children placed in 110 Ukrainian families. In 2011 there were 88 children and 18 families added. Two family camps specially designed for adopted children and their families were conducted in two regions, attracting a total of 220 children and parents. New Hope Ukraine's Family Ministry held dozens of trainings, conferences and camps during 2011, as well as several weekly men's and women's Bible studies. A new Family Ministries director was added to the staff of New Hope Ukraine as well. On October 5, New Hope Ukraine went live with an internet evangelistic site in the Russian language called "Why Jesus?" This site is available to any Russian speaker worldwide who has internet access and who searches for a number of different topics online, such as "Jesus" and "God." As of the end of December, at least 215 individuals had visited the site and several had begun or completed the five week course.
