MISSION CAPSULES - Our gifts to Presbyterians Sharing ... support the Rev. Dr. David Pandy-Szekeres as he works with the Reformed Church of the Sub-Carpathian Ukraine (RCCU) as Supervisor of External Missions and Director of Schools. Over the past year, the economic crunch has had a very negative impact on the operation of the four RCCU secondary schools. A lack of funding and a rise in energy and utilities costs meant that student fees were increased by 67% at a time when families were facing heightened uncertainty with respect to employment (or not working at all). Due to a high inflation rate, job losses and rising costs for food, family incomes are generally not sufficient to meet basic needs. Let us pray for David as he works to find funding to keep these schools operating during very difficult economic times, and for people in Ukraine who are struggling to make ends meet.
