'Hope Now' news
HEAD OF ‘HOPE NOW’ IS AWARDED MBE Vic Jackopson, the head of ‘Hope Now’ was awarded the MBE in this year’s New Year’s Honours List for his service in Ukraine. His work began there in the early 90s when he was asked by the Baptist Union to report on the state of Baptist churches in Central Ukraine following the fall of communism. Whilst visiting a prison in Cherkassy he was asked by a minister if he could fund the setting up of a prison chapel. He had the exact amount of money with him that was required to adapt and equip a room in the prison for use as a chapel. Thus began the prison ministry there. During a visit to the Cherkassy Rescue Shelter he met two boys who took him to where they used to beg (and live) in the town cemetery. As a result of this meeting the ministry in the orphanages and internats began. Assistance with health care in local hospitals and isolated villages followed. At the heart of all of Vic’s work is bringing the Good News of Jesus. Support of local churches, assistance in planting new churches and the training of new pastors in the Hope Now Bible School means that the Gospel is continuing to spread in this Cherkassy Region and further afield. From abandoned child – children’s home – foster care – thieving – prison................ MBE! Vic can testify to the saving grace and Good News of Jesus Christ.
