Local Pastors offer focus for Ukraine giving

Dear Waitsburg,

We are all grieving for the people of Ukraine. What can we do? Individually? As a community? Along with so many of you, we in the Christian Church and the Presbyterian Church have been asking ourselves this.

Our churches have determined a particular focus to our giving. This is being guided by our connection to the Monfort family. Phil and Jeanetta’s daughter and son in law, Sarah and Alister Torrens, along with their children, Saphira and Thaddaeus, have for years been in ministry in Kyiv. (They are now out of the country.)

MTW, the mission organization they are a part of has a benevolence arm that is directing its resources to the needs of those fleeing the conflict.

There are many trustworthy organizations through which donations can be sent. This is the one through which we will be encouraging our people to give.

We are certain of this, our gifts, however modest, can make a real difference.

All grace.

Yours,

Stan Hughes and Cameron Hedges
