Quotes from scholarship recipients

Andrew
(Physics. He and his family are refugees from the war in Eastern Ukraine.)
“To go back to my hometown Donetsk, where my church had been blown away by missiles seemed the worst option to me. However, my dream university in Kyiv was unaffordable. My family didn’t have enough money for this. So I was preparing myself for the worst, however not giving up on my dream and asking God to intervene.

When we got to know that there were people willing to pay for my education, joy filled our hearts! It seemed too miraculous to be true! But you brought that miracle into life. Your sacrificial hearts became a great blessing for our family!

Thank you and God bless you!”

Mykola (Paramedic)
I am a student at the Rivne Medical College.
Since childhood, I wanted to help people who are in difficult situations. Thanks to my future profession as a Paramedic, I will be able to save hundreds or even thousands of lives with the help of God.

I will also be able to introduce people to God, because in difficult circumstances people often look to God for help and someone who will listen to their problems. This is my Savior. He will help all who will turn to Him.

I want to thank you for making my childhood dream come true. Every day is one step, which brings me closer to it.. Thank You! Wishing you God’s blessings!

Because my family couldn’t afford to pay for my tuition, I told God that if it was His will, he would help me and provide financial support.

He always takes care of me so I am deeply grateful to Him and glorify Him. May God richly bless you! Thank you very much for your help! With love and respect.
