Pankaj and family

————— JULY 2014—————————————–

Letter from Dr. Samuel P Oommen:

Dear Friends,
I am writing this appeal on behalf of Mr. Pankaj Kumar Mandal, an evangelist for the last nine years, in the Sheikhpura district of Bihar. I met him last month when he came to the Vellore church. He studied at the Steward’s Bible College, Chennai.

He was suspected to have a heart problem in Bihar. This was unfortunately confirmed after the tests at CMC and he has been advised a double heart valve replacement as soon as possible. The cost of the surgery is about 2.6 lakhs with another Rs. 20,000 for medications. This does not include the personal expenses the family will incur (food, travel etc.) at Vellore.

I have attached the Estimate Certificate from the Chief of Cardiothoracic surgery at CMC, Vellore, which has details about the cost for the surgery and his condition.

Those interested in supporting him can pay directly in to the CMC account. This money will only be used for his treatment. If there is any excess amount this will remain in his name and will be used for subsequent expenses during the follow up period. Since the money is directly paid to CMC, you can be assured that there will be no misuse of the funds.

Those who wish to support him through CMC Vellore can send:

A. Cheques or drafts with the following details

1. Cheques or drafts must be sent in favour of CHRISTIAN MEDICAL COLLEGE VELLORE ASSOCIATION with a covering letter addressed to The Treasurer, CMC Vellore with Pankaj’s full name(PANKAJ KUMAR MANDAL) and Hospital number (879880F);

2. The donor’s name, Branch details and code and the amount sent must be mentioned.

B. Money Transfer with the following details

1. Account: CHRISTIAN MEDICAL COLLEGE VELLORE ASSOCIATION
2. Bank: STATE BANK OF INDIA, VELLORE TOWN BRANCH
3. IFS/RTGS/IBAN Code: SBIN0001618
4. Please send covering letter OR e-mail, with donor’s name, Bank details, Pankaj’s name and hospital number (given above)
5. e-mail: care@cmcvellore.ac.in (with a copy to) accounts@cmcvellore.ac.in
6. Address:
OFFICE OF THE TREASURER
CMC HOSPITAL
IDA SCUDDER ROAD
VELLORE – 632 004
TAMIL NADU
Phone: 0416 2282127, 2282594

Above all please uphold him in your prayers. Since it is a major surgery, with many potential complications, your prayer support for him and for his family (wife – Neelam, children Ebenezer-4 years and Archana -2 years) is most essential.

With warm regards and prayers
Dr. Samuel P Oommen
Associate Professor
Developmental Pediatrics Unit
CMC Vellore.

Please pray for Bro. Abraham Panicker. He has been unable to walk for the last few days all of a sudden. They had his MRI taken and he has a fracture in his spine which caused compression on his nerve and so he couldn’t walk or stand. The doctor said that the cancer does cause thinning of bones and now he has to undergo a high risk surgery on Monday (July 20, 2020) after which there is no guarantee of his complete recovery. Doctor also stated that the cancer is spreading to his spine. Further CT scans are to be taken to see if it is spreading anywhere else.

There is a risk involved in the surgery yet there are more chances of improvement since he is responding well. The family consulted several doctors locally and abroad and all doctors have given their opinion to proceed with the surgery. So with hope and prayers for a better life, the family has given their consent for the surgery.

Please pray for the surgery and for a complete recovery.

Matter from Evg. John Panicker

Dear brethren,

Sis. Sanjhali Hembrum is discharged from the hospital on July 10, 2020 and is at home now. She has been in the ICU for 9 days and right now she is on medication for kidney (life long) and eye problems.

Her kidneys are working only 20%. She lost her eye sight for the last few months. Doctors suggested surgeries for both kidney and eyes. But due to COVID-19 lockdown, hospitals are not functioning well.

God willing, the family is planning for an early eye surgery for retinal detachment as soon as they get an appointment from the hospital. Right now, medication has been started for kidney issues. The family wants to thank all dear ones who prayed for them and helped them financially.

Let us uplift this family in our prayers as they do not have any elderly person in the family to support them. Elder daughter has started working recently in a private hospital. One daughter and son are still studying.

For details, please contact: +91-7543813423.

Dear brethren,

One of our Assembly believers and wife of late Evg. Benjamin Hembrum, Sis. Sanjhali Hembrum is admitted in ICU of a private hospital in Patna on July 1, 2020. She is a diabetic with hypertension (BP) and very recently lost one of her eye-sight. She was admitted because she was falling into coma frequently. The reports say that her kidneys are functioning only 20%.

As the treatment in Patna is very expensive and they do not have any income, we request you to pray for her complete healing. Hembrum family has been a blessing to our Assembly from the beginning of the ministry here and she struggled a lot to bring up her 4 children in the past. She is sick because of her hard work and financial burden she went through.
