Mission Eurasia

As children across America head off to Vacation Bible School and church camps this summer, thousands of young people across Eurasia are still waiting to hear about Jesus for the very first time.

“On that day, I made the most important decision of my life and repented,” shares Valentina. “Because of Jesus, my life now has meaning, and I am enjoying every moment with Him.”

Like many children and teens in Eurasia, Valentina did not grow up in a Christian home. When she asked questions about Jesus, her parents warned her not to get involved with a Christian “cult.” As a result, she declined the first invitation she received to attend one of our summer Bible camps.

But our School Without Walls students didn't give up on her. Through their friendship and encouragement, Valentina eventually received permission to attend a youth Bible camp last summer, and that's where her life changed forever.

“I am so thankful for the SWW students who befriended me and invited me to camp,” she says. “My life will never be the same.”

Will you give a generous gift today at https://buff.ly/O76Z08g to help a young person like Valentina discover the love of Jesus and find a new path for both this life and eternity?

Matthew was just four years old when he lost his mother, but Summer of Hope Bible camp changed his life.

When he attended a Summer of Hope Bible Camp in his hometown of Yekaterinburg for the very first time, during a Bible lesson, the teacher asked the children what they would most like to ask Jesus. Matthew’s answer revealed the pain he has carried for years: “I would ask for my mother to rise again.”

In that moment, young Christian leaders gently shared the Gospel with him and explained the hope of eternal life found in Christ. Alongside the other children at camp, Matthew learned and memorized Psalm 31:15: “But I trust in you, Lord; I say, ‘You are my God.’ My times are in your hands.”

Throughout camp, Matthew spent much of his free time reading the Bible he received. For a child who has experienced such profound loss, God’s Word became a source of comfort, truth, and hope.

The impact of camp didn’t end when he went home. The young leaders who served at camp plan to stay connected with Matthew, invite him to Sunday school, and encourage him as he continues to grow in his faith and discover God’s love for him.

One conversation. One Bible. One camp. A life forever changed.

"These were the best five days of my life!" That's how 11-year-old Katya described her experience at a Summer of Hope Bible camp in Korosten, Ukraine.

During camp, Katya met new friends who introduced her to Jesus. As she learned more about Him throughout the week, she made the decision to pray and ask Jesus Christ to be her Lord and Savior.

Stories like Katya's are the reason young Christian leaders spend months praying, preparing, and serving at Summer of Hope Bible camps. Behind every child whose life is changed is a team of dedicated School Without Walls leaders committed to sharing the love of Christ.

Did a church camp, youth retreat, or summer ministry play a role in your faith journey? We'd love to hear your story in the comments.

For 16-year-old Sophia, one week at a Bible camp changed everything.

"Camp changed my life," Sophia shared. "During camp, God moved in my heart in a special way. His love inspired me to change and devote my whole life to Him."

Before attending camp, Sophia doubted that God existed. She worried she wouldn't make friends and feared she would feel alone. But through the love and care shown by the School Without Walls students and leaders serving at camp, she encountered something she had never experienced before.

"They were the best, always ready to listen, and they were so loving and caring toward us. They showed me that the Lord is always with me."

By the end of camp, Sophia had dedicated her life to Jesus. Give today and help more children and teens encounter the hope of Jesus through Summer of Hope Bible camps: https://buff.ly/O76Z08g

Across Eurasia, young Christian leaders are stepping into similar roles and lives are being changed because of it.

When sixteen-year-old Dasha served as a Summer of Hope camp mentor, it was her first leadership role, and she embraced the opportunity with enthusiasm, faith, and a desire to serve others.

"The camp gave me a chance to apply what I've been learning [in School Without Walls]. I was thrilled to serve the kids and talk to them about God. It was meaningful and rewarding. I improved my discipline and responsibility and became better at explaining the Gospel," Dasha shared.

Dasha's story is a powerful reminder that Summer of Hope is about transforming the lives of children and equipping the next generation of Christian leaders.

Through School Without Walls, young people like Dasha are being trained, discipled, and prepared to share Christ with others. Today, she is serving children. Tomorrow, she may be leading a ministry, mentoring others, or reaching her community with the Gospel.

This summer, you can help more children hear the Good News and help raise up more young leaders like Dasha. Through Summer of Hope Bible camps, children encounter Christ while future Christian leaders gain hands-on ministry experience that shapes them for years to come.
