Oklahoma City Tornado
Friday May 24, 2013
Dear Friends
Please read these
messages. They are great blessings.
Moore
Baptist Temple, Moore, OK Pastor Sven Larson
“Bro
Milton,
Here are some others that need help
I have a mother and daughter that
live together and lost everything, one is on oxygen, the mother is 94. They
rode out the tornado in the bathtub. They are on social security, and need help
with deductibles, clothes, housing, and may not rebuild because of the
difficulty involved and health.
Another family has 6 children, the
children faithfully ride the bus to church. Their mom worked in the hospital
when the wall fell in on her and broke her arm. Her car was blown into the
hospital lobby, her home is without power.
Another
family lost their trailer, they dont have much, and have financial needs. They
are unsaved.
There are so many more, and I am
hearing more situations daily.
Anything you do for them, I pray the
Lord would use it greatly in their lives. Sincerely,
Sven Larson Moore Baptist Temple”
Pastor
Larson wrote this note to explain further his work with the people in the
disaster zone.
“I
talked to a family tonight who lost their home and possessions and car, and
they had no homeowners insurance. They have 2 children. He works at Lowes, she
makes $250 a week. I gave them $400 and she cried because her daughters
graduation dress and shoes were blown away and now she get her a new grad
dress.”
On
Tuesday of next week, ORH hopes to send money to help this brother.
Suburban
Baptist Church, Moore, OK, Pastor Ron Lindsey
"Dear
Bro Jan Milton,
Thank you for your kindness. We are
requesting $10,000.00 to help our church families who were devastated during
the tornado.
Our update is now that seven families
lost their homes. The one couple that was unaccounted for has been found and
they are safe, praise the Lord. We are also setting up a relief center and a
feeding center at our church. We have all of the volunteers that we need at
this present time.
If you can help, please send your
donation by check through regular mail, Pastor
Ron Lindsey”
Operation
Renewed Hope has sent the initial check of $3000.00 to Pastor Lindsey. We are
thankful that the family that had not been found has been discovered and is
safe.
Beth
Haven Baptist Church, OKC, OK Pastor Rick Carter.
“Hello
Jan
Pastor wanted me to email you and
thank you for what you have done already. We use the money that you gave for
gloves, trash bags, mask. We are in a desperate need for a large order of Ice
and he said anything that you could send would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much”
Operation
Renewed Hope has sent initially $1500.00 to this church. Yesterday, we sent
another $1000.00. Pray that all will go well for Pastor Carter and his church
as they give out the needed items to hundreds of people in the disaster zone.
Pray
for these churches that are ministering to the needs of those in the
communities with no expectations of return. They are truly demonstrating the
compassion and love of Christ to their community. They are establishing
disaster centers for people to which people in the public may come to get the
help they need. The greatness of this is that when all the relief agencies are
gone these men and churches will still be there to help.
If
you wish to donate by check, please, send the check to Operation Renewed Hope,
PO Box 43242, Fayetteville, NC 28309. Mark the check for "Domestic
Relief."
If
you wish to donate by debit or credit card, please, go to www.operationrenewedhope.org and
choose Network for Good.
