Southeast Baptist 2004 Kiev Village of Hope Team will be on a trip to Kiev, Ukraine during July 7-18, 2004. Our Team is being led by pastor, Dr. Jim Wayne.

The village of Hope is a 17 acre tract of land with 7 existing buildings. This old Russian youth camp will be transformed into a ministry center that will house foster home units, as well as school, medical and other support facilities. With the help of CBF missionaries, Gennady and Mina Podgaisky, the ministry has grown rapidly and is reaching out to a network of organizations that are ministering to children throughout the Kiev region.

This summer 18 volunteer teams will go to the Village of Hope to do various projects, primarily renovation/construction. The Village of Hope has been established with an international board of directors. The board members represent all who have partnered together to establish the Village of Hope. Representatives from the Netherlands, Germany, Ukraine, CBF National and CBFNC gathered in Kiev in December to formalize a partnership that will direct much of the street children ministry in Kiev. Ann Smith a former member of Southeast Baptist is on this board..
