Dear Reader,
The Slavic Reformation Society is hoping to raise $10,000 to help pay for tuberculosis treatment for Olga Moroz. Olga is the wife of Ruslan Moroz, student in the Biblical Theological Seminary and pastor of Light to the World Presbyterian Church in Romanovka, Russia.
When government healthcare fails, individual people, pastors, and churches must respond. We are thankful we have already raised $2500. If you want to donate to SRS online, you can do so here. Under "this is for," select Ruslan Moroz. In the message, write "Olga's TB treatment." For more details, please keep reading.
*********************************************************************************
Ruslan Moroz' wife, Olga, has been diagnosed with infiltrated tuberculosis. Praise God Ruslan and his son, Anton, have both tested negative. Russia has one of the world's highest rates of tuberculosis, and it is particularly bad in the Far East where Ruslan lives. Olga's symptoms began in February, but doctors could not confirm it was TB until May 23, 2014. Now, she has a 3-4 cm hole in her right lung. She is now in nearby South Korea, where she is being treated at the Yangan University Hospital's Respiratory Allergy Clinic.
The reason Ruslan decided to send her to Korea was because of the long wait to receive treatment in Russia. We are certainly not trying to make a socialized health care joke out of this, but the truth of the matter is that Ruslan had to choose between "free" Russian health care with long waits and the possibility his wife may die before she was treated, or immediate treatment in Korea.
Ruslan chose Korea, but the cost is high. Because of the extremely contagious nature of Olga's TB, they have her in an isolated room which is costing $200 per day more than they were expecting. Family and friends have sacrificially given, but for this unwealthy servant-leader, Pastor Moroz is still far short of meeting all the financial obligations for Olga's treatment.
SRS wants to raise $10,000 for Olga's treatment. We are thankful we have raised $2500 already. Thank you in advance for your prayers, and for any financial support you can contribute towards Olga's treatment. If you want to donate to SRS online, you can do so here. Under "this is for," select Ruslan Moroz. In the message, write "Olga's TB treatment."
Peace in Christ,
