Japanese Typhoon - Post 2

Saturday July 12, 2014

 

Dear Friends,

 

ORH has received no information that would indicate great damage or loss of life as a result of the typhoon which struck Okinawa and then moved to  main land Japan.

 

As our good friend Ron White expressed.  "I hope that Operation Renewed Hope is not needed."

 

We did get this email from Matt Starin on Okinawa which indicated damage to the home and cars of one of his church members.  He is also checking the neighborhood around the church for anyone in need.  Pray that we could help someone that is lost to know Christ.

 

"Good morning,

Thank you for the email. We did have a church member and her two sons who had water damage at their home. The water came up four to six feet when the Tengan River crested and flooded their area. Both cars were completely submerged in the water.  A water pump purchase would of been helpful or one of those wet vacs.

We asked Matt if insurance would help the church member and this was his reply.

 

"Mrs Kishimoto did not have insurance for flooding but her son Kei's car did. She has gotten a rental car for a month. We went over there Weds morning when it was safe and the water had just receded."

We are waiting to hear from Matt about what can be done to help this lady since she did not have flood insurance.  ORH would like to send Matt some funds to help Mrs. Kishimoto.

Japanese Typhoon Neoguri - Post 1

Wednesday July 9, 2014

Dear Friends,

At this time, the following has been accomplished through your valuable input.  ORH never moves to the work without solid information.

ORH has contacted Jared Baldwin with Harvest Baptist Church in Guam.  He has assured us that they are in good condition.  We have partnered with this great church to help with last typhoon in the Philippines.

ORH has sent word to Matthew Starin on Okinawa and is awaiting a response.

Missionary Tim Melton in Japan has responded and has promised to give us updates about needs.  At this time he is not in need.

ORH has also attempted to contact Pastor Craft of Maranatha Baptist Church in Okinawa City, Okinawa.  We have been unsuccessful to get contact, but will continue trying by email and phone.

Ron White with Tri-City Baptist Church in Independence MO writes the following:

"Missionaries, Dan and Terri Gardner.  They have a church, a camp, and a house.  Missionaries Dan Gardner, Jr and Heidi.  they have a house and also share the camp and church building with his parents.  Missionaries Matt and Sachiko Sanders.  They have a home and a church building.  Maranatha Baptist Church and all their missionaries, workers, members, school, students and staff.  National pastors Fujino and family, Saito and family, and several others.

The same typhoon is heading on to Mainland Japan where I know several missionaries and many national pastors, workers, and believers."

David Harris of BIMI is attempting to help ORH with information.  His help in the last disaster in Japan was invaluable.

Thank you so much for the immediate information to begin the relief efforts.  Your help is always essential to proper evaluation.  You are God's blessing to ORH.

Pray for the contacts that will be made, so that ORH can assess the opportunity to minister to the saved and the lost.  This is another open door of opportunity to behave like our savior as He helped the suffering while in His earthly ministry.

Pray that the contacts are safe and ready to minister to the people around them.

At this time, do not send money.  When ORH is certain of a proper course of action we will request help. 

At this time, patiently wait with ORH for information that leads us to where God is wanting us to work.

God bless,

Jan Milton

Philippine Typhoon - Post 33

Philippine Typhoon

Saturday, July 5, 2014

Dear Friends,

Dan Cadavos and his great Church, Calvary Baptist in Mindanao, will be making another trip into Leyte to help rebuild two more churches which are in very desperate need.  Please pray for them as they make this trip.  ORH has committed another $2500.00, but we need about $4800.00 total to help these two churches with substantial rebuilding.

Please read Dan and Edna's latest communication to ORH.

“There will be soon another $2,500 being sent from ORH as Jan Milton has informed us.  We sent 3 of our men back to Leyte the other day to continue work in two churches with ministries the Lord has impressed upon our hearts.  There are good men, pastors, working in those churches, basically abandoned by their own "association" as they accepted help from us back in January.  They are totally trusting the Lord to meet their needs by faith....  We want to ok our men on the scene that its ok to go ahead and order 350 bags of cement and other needed supplies.”

We cannot let these brothers in Christ down.  If you can help, please take an offering to continue the rebuilding of churches.  To date, Operation Renewed Hope has worked with more than 30 churches helping them to rebuild. 

Dan Cadavos, Rick Martin, and Jim Latzko have been working feverishly to reestablish individuals, communities and a great number of Churches.  It has been the privilege of ORH to work through these marvelous people for the Filipinos.

If you have any extra funds for the work in the Philippines.  We will need just a few more offerings for the summer.  Pray about what you could do.

Please, consider this “open door”, and let’s not hesitate to go to the harvest.

God bless all who try to help us with the suffering of others and the salvation of their souls.

Thank God for America and its continuing outreach around the world.
