Thank YOU!!
Dear Friends,
We are taking a brief break from our usual pattern of prayer/patient updates to make you aware of a very urgent financial need that has arisen. As you are aware, we are nearing completion of the construction of our new cardiothoracic surgical unit at Tenwek (CTC), and look forward to equipping and outfitting the new facility beginning in January, 2024.
We have developed a wonderful relationship with OFS, a company out in Huntingburg, Indiana. They are one of the USA’s largest manufacturers of specialty medical and office furniture. They have very graciously agreed to meet all of the furniture needs for the new facility! This is a huge donation, with a value of more than $2.5 million! This is a new venture for OFS, and we are very pleased to be working with them. Shipment is set to begin in less than two weeks, will include approximately 35 forty-foot containers, and will be staggered over 5-6 weeks. For a variety of reasons, the shipment needs to hit the ocean before the end of the year.
We are responsible for the shipping and clearing costs for this incredibly generous gift. The total cost for this is estimated to be about $650,000. We had as part of our team a US-based fund-raiser who has been convinced for many months that he would have secured for us the funding needed for this shipment (and additional future expenses for the CTC.) However, I was informed yesterday that in fact no funds are available yet for this project. This leaves us with a very large amount of money to raise in a very short period. We know that God can provide in any way He chooses, and that He is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine. We have been praying all along that He would be glorified as we wait on Him.
How You Can Help
Would you pray for His provision with us? And would you prayerfully consider a generous, urgent donation to the CTC equipment fund to allow us to meet our responsibility to accept this large contribution to the CTC in the next few weeks?
Gratefully serving with you,
Russ & Beth
