Panama Covid 19 Food Distribution
Jan, Tomorrow I am delivering a
food box to Alberto.
He has worked all this time
but his wife has not.
Just wanted to give him a
boost of encouragement.
He and his son are heavily
involved in the electronic/
Internet ministry going on
during our church restrictions
Here
is another Family receiving one of the boxes. Oscar
pastored in San Miguelito 20 years before going to Nicaragua as
a missionary. They have been in Panama since the uproar in
Nicaragua, where people were shot on the street where they lived
and had church. The time in Panama was supposed to be temporary,
but Covid 19 forced some course corrections.
This
is the pastor in Veracruz with his family that is still at home. We
are helping this family with the food boxes as well. This
community has one of the highest unemployment rates and no
church members are working so no income for pastoral support.
Plus his secular work is on hold.
He
is Kuna and the FARC rebels were out to kill him years ago. They did
kill some of his family. He goes back to that area to take the Gospel
and is helping Bible Translators with a secondary Kuna dialect.
This
couple planted the church where they minister – probably 8-10
years
ago. His brother started a church where he still pastors in
Agua
Dulce, where Simeon lives. Their
Church is several miles past where the Camp SI where the baseball
team stayed. I
will be able to do this several times with remaining funds.
This
couple was starting deputation to be missionaries to Holland, but
their pastor resigned and left the country on the spur of the
moment.
So, he became pastor of the church. They
may have a second child by now.
Eduardo
is the pastor in San Miguelito. He followed Oscar when
Oscar returned to Nicaragua as a missionary. He
had a medical condition similar to epilepsy and has not been
able to keep a job since. He lost most of his memory except
for Scripture. His wife has a growth on the back of her
head, near the brain, and she is slowly losing her sight.
Candy
is our single missionary who has worked on the coast (jungle villages) for years. Her father was
saved while she served in Belen (2nd church in jungle started from a medical clinic). Recently
she started an online fellowship meeting for ladies in ministry. She
has a hard time buying supplies because her hour is the last hour of business, and
she cannot get home before curfew ends. Her
dad worked at the last medical clinic with Eli.
Jiovani
became the pastor where he was introduced to the Gospel. The
church is located in a blue color social area. Carolina
was in our church since about 10 years old. Phyllis taught
her music and ended up playing multiple instruments and a very good vocalist. They
have been married several years.

ALAN SUTPHEN – SOROTI, UGANDA

“Bro Jan, below is a summary of the food assistance
distribution, and several photos attached.
Thank you.
Since the
lockdown was imposed in late March countrywide in Uganda many people who live
in the town of Soroti and the surrounding villages have experienced food
shortages. This is from both the lack of funds to purchase food and from a
lack of food grown and harvested from their fields. Because of this
multifactorial issue we at the Soroti Orphan Assistance Project (SOAP) have
begun food purchase and distributions to the orphaned children at SOAP, as
well as pastors from the surrounding area church-plants.
…We thank
Operation Renewed Hope for providing the very generous $2,000.00 in funds to
assist us in the purchase and distribution of this much-needed food. With the
remaining funds we intend to repeat this aid program as the pandemic and
lockdown continues here in Uganda.”

Matt Stensaas
sent the following message about the Covid 19 food distribution. He is very encouraged by the work.
“Despite the
lockdowns of transportation, church services, and public gatherings, God has
been doing an incredible work. Because
of the love shown in giving food to people who are very desperate, God has
opened many doors for the Gospel.
People have gotten saved and we are preparing for many new ministries
once the lockdowns are lifted.”

(BURMA) – FOOD DISTRIBUTION THROUGH SAM STRICKLIN
|

David Sum, a good
brother in Christ, lives in Myanmar.
He has been instrumental in establishing a Bible college for national
pastors. Sam Strickland is working
with Brother
Sum to distribute
food to the hungry. Operation Renewed
Hope sent $1000.00 for this effort.
Sam sent the following message Brother Sum.
“Dear
Brother Sam, Thank you so much for
your great support for the extremely needy people in our country. I believe
it is the Lord's doing. yesterday 50 "Iternally Displaced People"
from Rakhine State, ran to Wat Ein Poh village, Hle Ku township. They are
civil war victims. We will go and help them next week. I will surely send you
the report with photos. Thank you so
much again for your self sacrificial support to our needy people. Every

Phil Hunt is a missionary with great love for the
people of Zambia. ORH is challenged and
blessed by his advancing ministry. Phil wrote the following to
ORH.
“Dear Jan, It was a blessing to chat with you on the
phone two weeks ago. We have organized
and are prepared to distribute the funds provided through ORH specifically to
pastors and church planters who have been affected by this global
pandemic. We have worked through a
criteria that includes the following:
• A
pastor, missionary or church planter.
• Priority
will be given to the Faith Baptist Pastors Fellowship - these are men and
ministries that have come up as a direct result of the church planting
ministry that we have been associated with here in Zambia.
• Those

with their respective church ministries.
Thank you for your efforts in this. Phil, Philip S. Hunt Philippians 1:20-21”
