A Great Way to Start the New Year

Saving a life would be a great way to start the New Year, wouldn’t it?

A friend of mine – Jacob Perera – is a pastor in Sri Lanka. His kidneys are failing him, and he needs a kidney transplant. For five months, I’ve been raising money for his operation, but the stakes just got higher.

Sadly, Jacob’s brother passed away on December 28 due to the same medical condition. He left behind a wife and four young children. While his death was personally shocking and tragic for the family, it underscores the seriousness of Jacob’s medical condition: it is literally life-and-death.

Jacob’s operation is scheduled for the third week of January. The cost for the operation, recovery in the hospital and follow-up injections is about $14,000 USD. We have already raised $3,700 but we need more. As a pastor, Jacob doesn’t receive an income, so all medical expenses come from donations.

Would you please consider making a donation to this important cause?

We’ve established a bank account in Sri Lanka, so ALL funds go DIRECTLY to Jacob for his operation. In addition, all donations are tax-deductible (thru Current3 Ministries) and you will receive a receipt for your gift.

Thank you for considering a donation. Saving a life would be a great way to start the New Year, wouldn’t it?
