Mission For Haiti struggles with starvation - Post 1

Tuesday October 29, 2013

Dear Praying Friend,

Below you will read an email from Tom as Sarah Bennett of Mission for Haiti.  Mrs. Bennett contacted me prior to my departure to Uganda for the Islands of Lake Victoria.  ORH sent $1000.00 for the initial work to save these lives.  We would like to send more.  Possibly you can help.

Please read the message below from MFH.

“Hi Jan,

Below is a clip from my November prayer letter. Thank you for helping Hosanna Ministries.

“Blessed is he who considers the poor; The Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.” (Psalm 41:1)"

Hosanna Baptist Church, our church-plants, and our sister churches were given an opportunity to minister to a distant mountain community called Baie d'Orange (about 3½ hours away). The Jacmel health department was.sent word that there were those suffering from acute malnutrition and some dying of hunger. (Terrible erosion caused by hurricanes has taken its toll and destroyed hundreds of crops.)

The health department dispatched vehicles, and hours later returned to the Jacmel hospital with 48 infants and children who were severely undernourished and suffering from related problems. Pastor Dieupie was notified of this.  Immediately, he sent out an SOS to all Hosanna churches to start collecting food items to be donated to these desperate families.

MFH and ORH (Operation Renewed Hope) were notified of this also. ORH has come alongside us and contributed funds to purchase food. The Hosanna churches have joined forces to make peanut butter and to purchase milk, rice, beans, and other nutritious foods. They have put together over 200 boxes of food to send to Bair d’Orange. Along with the food, Gospel tracts are being distributed, and open-air meetings are being held. It has been a blessing to Pastor Dieupie and MFH to see how Hosanna folks have responded to this emergency."

Indai Cyclone Update 2013 - Post 1

India Report Cyclone Damage

 

October 15, 2013

Dear Friends,

Please read the information below about the Cyclone (hurricane) impact on India.  The scope of this storm was overwhelming as it came ashore out of the Bay of Bengal on the eastern coast of India.

Pastor Luther Chatla and his family have been long standing friends of our work in India.  We have conducted relief work and medical clinics with them in the region.  We have great confidence in them.  Please read his report about the needs generated by this storm the size of "Katrina."

 

"Bro Jan, Thank you for your remembrance and concern. We were in our believers annul conference until yesterday, and we were so worried about the cyclone, but by the grace of God we were not disturbed in Nidumolu as the cyclone moved towards north. Cyclone severely effected five of our pastors who are pastoring in that area. Their villages were evacuated by the government and the people were moved to a safe place. We called our pastors with their families here to our mission compound in Nidumolu to safeguard them.

They returned back to that area this morning and according to their initial report, three out of the eight churches were drown in water. They were not of concrete but with mud walls and bamboo sticks. They need to be rebuilt. Many church families lost their shelter and everything. Their lives are safe but they do not have anything to start their daily life. Clothes, groceries are the current basic needs and they need help to the extent of rebuilding/ repairing their homes.

 

I am waiting for their photos which I would send them by tomorrow. Praying and looking forward to provide hope through our ORH as God enables."

 

Operation Renewed Hope will be sending $1000.00 to begin the rebuilding process.  We need to do more.  Ministry is available to us.  People are in need of physical help that can lead to great spiritual ministry.

 

If you would like to donate by check, please, send the check to Operation Renewed Hope, PO Box 43242, Fayetteville, NC 28309.  Mark the check for "International Relief."
