Medical Mission Summit,
Maranatha Baptist University, September 21-23, 2017, Register at www.mbu.edu.
This is going to be a time for teenagers to consider medical missions as
a life-calling.
Dear
Friends,
Operation
Renewed Hope has a further update on Hurricane Harvey, and a new update on
Hurricane Irma.
Currently,
we have three churches that have agreed to help in the Irma disaster. Pastor Marc Mortensen of First Baptist Church
of Westwood Lake in Miami has agreed to help.
His church has endured many disaster events and helped to send aid in so
many disasters that have not impacted them; and now they are the target of a
monstrous storm. Even in this, they are
offering to be a distribution site.
Also,
we have a distribution church in Orlando, Eastland Baptist Church; and one
distribution church in Winter Garden, Calvary Baptist Church. There is a fourth church but we have not
reached them as of this update.
Thank
God for Pastor Tim Potter, Arch Ministries, in Mentor, OH, for sending us
distribution churches and churches in the impact areas who might need help. Pastor Potter is a very gracious man with a
compassionate ministry of discipleship around the United States.
Thank
God Pastor Potter gave ORH two of his best to go to Houston. They are trained and certified disaster
specialist. Working tirelessly with
Pastor Cover, they helped him direct the ministry to the people. Pastor Cover said they were the best of
encouragement and help. Thank God for
their servant leadership.
Thank
God for Karl and Mary Catherin Steudl of Emmanuel Independent Baptist Church in
Winchester, VA, Pastor Steve Rebert.
They leave this morning for Irma.
They are trained and certified disaster experts who are willing to help
direct ORH efforts in the Irma impact area.
Presently, ORH has the funds to move them to the area, but not enough
for the actual ministry. Even though,
they are aware of this; they are willing to go by faith that ORH will have the
funds when they arrive in the Irma impact area to work. They are true volunteers in the Lord’s army.
Their
efforts already have been greatly blessed.
A business man heard of their coming work and bought them a commercial
dehumidifier. This is wonderful news
because of all the houses which must be dried-out before restoration. Praise God from whom all blessings flow.
Pastor
Alan Jenkins of Nehemiah’s Network sent out another truck of food to Hurricane
Harvey. Praise God. The difficulty is this depleted our food
supply. We now only have pallets of
water. Pray we will have food.
Dr Huey Mills of Fellowship Bible Church in Lancaster, SC
has suggested we contact Second Harvest to buy food. If your church is close to a Second Harvest
Food Bank would you call and see if they will sell food. If they say, “Yes.”; please call us
immediately (910-987-5072).
Thank
God for Pastor Tim Driggers. ORH worked
with his church just outside of Columbia during a flood which almost destroyed
his church. He wrote the following.
“Bro Jan, this is pastor Driggers from Congaree Baptist
Church in SC. You helped us a great deal after the 2015 flood and spoke at our
church some time after. We wanted to know what y'all are doing in Texas and we
are receiving a collection over the next two Sundays and wanted know how to
pass that on to you for relief in Texas. Thank you for all your hard work.
Awaiting Your Reply, Rev Tim Driggers.”
Thank
God for our dear brothers in New York who went through Hurricane Sandy. We were privilege to help them in their time
of need. Now, they are some of the first
to send donations to help others. In
every disaster effort, previous recipients of disaster help return the good.
WHAT A
BLESSING.
A
second update will be sent today. Pastor
Cover and Mike Herbster have great blessings to share. Too many blessings to put in one email. GOD IS GOOD.
