Hope Now was founded by Vic Jackopson in July 1985.

Hope Now exists to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ. A balance of direct evangelism with social action ensures the message of the Gospel touches the hearts of young and old, poor and rich, healthy and infirm, free and imprisoned. Hope Now works in Ukraine.

In 2007 Hope Now divided its work in Ukraine into two quite distinct organisations. The caring ministries such as providing healthcare for children with birth abnormalities, the work in Orphanages and internats or street children and the evangelism are retained under the Hope Now banner.

The equipping ministries such as Kompas Park, The Cherkassy Centre for Biblical Studies, Church planting, the Cycle Club, student ministries and Pre-independence Homes now come under the newly formed Kompas Park Education Trust.

Vic Jackopson is an internationally recognised evangelist, Bible teacher, writer and communicator. He has preached throughout three continents and been a guest on numerous radio and television shows. He is committed to transferring his skill of communication on to a younger generation by creating mission opportunities.

Vic is pleased to visit churches, schools, colleges, radio/T.V. and other organisations (diary permitting).
