A Letter of Thanks to CUMC | |
|
We collected Christmas Offerings for three missions in 2022. Our international collection of $1,306.00 was sent to Hospital #5 in Kharkiv, Ukraine. Dr. Igor Kraiz who is the Chief Medical Officer of the hospital visited with us in our sanctuary in June, 2022 and has corresponded with us through shared video greetings. Pastor Jeff received the following email from Dr. Igor Kraiz's son Igor with an update on Dr. Igor and his colleagues at Hospital #5 in Kharkiv, Ukraine:
Dear Jeff,
I was talking to my dad earlier today. He asked me to tell you how grateful he is for the generous donation. He and his doctors are buying the water heater, TV, and printers which will be in place imminently. His team is thankful for your thoughtfulness and prayers. They feel that they are getting great support and friendship from your amazing community. Their hospital continues to operate and provide help to the people of Kharkiv which is what they've been doing with no interruption since the war began.
All the best,
Igor T.
