Ecuador Earthquake


Saturday, April 23, 2016


Dear Friends,


ORH has received a message from Sid Messer, missionary to Ecuador.  Sid is a missionary with Gospel Fellowship Association.  He is in the heart of the earthquake devastation.  Please read his communication and the need.


“We did not sustain any major damages to our home. But a home of a lady in our church was devastated. The home is not livable, and she and her family are now living with her brother who is housing five other families. Many families have very little to eat and drink and the earthquake has put a halt to people working. Therefore, they are not earning money to buy basic necessities.”


Please download the PDF for pictures of the work needed.  ORH has committed $1000.00 immediately to help this brother meet the needs of his people and those in the community around him.  Please pray for this situation.  If funds are available, Sid has committed to helping the community with the gospel as he distributes blankets, food, and water.

Fiji Update


Wednesday, April 20, 2016


Dear Friends,


Houston, TX



If you know of anyone needing help, please contact us as soon as possible with contact information.


Fiji Update


Fiji missionaries are reporting back.  ORH is so thankful that your gifts that provided for this work.  Below you will read the reports.  Download the PDF’s for pictures and further information.


Korey Mears wrote thanking ORH for your provision.


     “Bro. Milton,  Thank you for the $2000.00 that was sent. We have just completed rebuilding one house in the village, and repairing several other homes that were damaged. We had a group of young men from Alert Academy who are trained for disaster relief.

     The funds you sent purchased the tools and supplies necessary to do our rebuilding projects and to buy food to support the men as they did the work. I have attached a picture for you.

     We have the next team of builders coming May 10-30 who will be helping us rebuild the church that was completely destroyed as well as two or three more houses, depending on the funds raised.  I am sending out a newsletter in a day on all we have done and are doing.  God Bless, Bro. Kory Mears”


Missionary Paul Daku writes the following.


     “There are some church members who need to rebuild their homes.  We would like to help with building supplies, tin for their roofs, clothing and basics of living such as mattresses and pillows and other household items, as well as school supplies for the children.  Nearly every school in the North lost at least part of their roof and books and supplies as well.   We have also targeted relatives of our church members here in Lautoka who live in the North.

     At each place where we already took the relief supplies, we were able to share the Gospel with the families who were receiving the relief items.  Tracts were passed out, and as much as possible, the Gospel was shared in English as well as their mother tongue, and tracts were given to everyone.  We were also able to give a Bible to each family.


Please pray for these workmen and the Fiji Islands where they work.  The cyclone that struck the Islands was massive with some reports of 225 mph winds.  Thank God for these missionaries.

Malawi


Sunday, April 10, 2016

Dear Friends,

Below is a message from Eric Chapman missionary to Malawi, Africa.  Eric has appealed to Operation Renewed Hope for help with the crop loss and famine among the churches of his region of Malawi.   Please read Eric’s report on the current situation.

“Two weeks ago I put out a letter about the drought situation here in Malawi.  We have to date raised just over $10,000 for African Hunger.  We will wait one more week and then wire the funds over and begin to help those we can.  If possible we would like to help every family in our church-planting network that has 135 churches. This would cost about $24,000 and amount to $20 per family. This goal would be for a 50-kilogram sack of unprocessed corn and the cost of transporting it to them in the villages.

Even with all of these hardships in Malawi, we see the opportunity to preach the Gospel and offer the people the great hope of eternal life in Christ. Pray that the churches will look to Christ and receive some measure of revival in the midst of all this suffering. May our hearts be stirred to help and pray for these our Malawian brothers and sisters in Christ.”

ORH has committed $3000.00 to help the Malawi people survive.  Thank God for missionaries who seek the souls of men for Christ, and they also seek the welfare of those in danger of perishing physically.

South Carolina Update




Tuesday, April 12, 2016



Dear Friends,



The work at Congaree Baptist Church in Columbia, SC area continues to be done after the flooding.  Morningside Baptist Church has been very instrumental in helping Pastor Driggers and the congregation to remodel the once very badly flood-damaged buildings.



Operation Renewed Hope was privileged to work through such a great church to help Congaree Baptist rebuild.  Morningside sent us this message from Pastor Driggers and the congregation.



“From Pastor Driggers Congaree:

’Bro Tom we got your check yesterday for $7206.20. Thank you for holding that for us. The tile is going in it's just a slow process but we praise the Lord for His goodness. I'll send some pics’"



Operation Renewed Hope, through you, was able to help Congaree back on its feet to minister the Word of God.  We thank all who have helped.



Please download the pdf to see the new tile floor in the church.



God bless,



Jan Milton
