David Livingstone Institute of Medical Missions

Dear Friends,

Operation Renewed Hope is exploring the possibilities of the David Livingstone Institute of Medical Missions.

Statement of Purpose: Recruit young people to attend the institute

1. to learn biblical servant leadership

2. to develop a heart for medical missions

3. to gain instruction in science

4. to gain instruction in math

5. to begin preparation for the MCat

6. to provide opportunities on medical teams while young. 

Problem: Medical missions is growing in interest and need since ORH began over 20 years ago.  ORH and many other good organizations need medical personnel.  We are not reaching young people before college for this purpose.  All our good organizations search from church to church to find willing people after they are in practice.  This is closing the door to the barn after the horse is loose.  We must become proactive.

Help Need: We need

1.  medical people willing to teach medical missions, who are involved in medical missions.

2.  science and math teachers willing to teach the difficult courses to prepare a young person.

3.  spiritually trained servant leaders to develop the youth.

4.  people to recruit at least one young person per school or church.

ORH has been offered land for the purpose of the David Livingstone Institute.  We want this program to complement our present ORH Boot Camp training for teens.  We desire to create a work force for medical missions, so that none of our good organizations go without personnel.

If you would like to be part of a focus group discussing this on a computer video conference, please respond to this with your email.

The dates of the focus group is September 29 and October 2 at 8 PM EST.  You can choose either date.  You will receive an agenda for the meeting when you respond.  You will need to download FUZE to participate.

We are not soliciting funds.  ORH solicits funds unashamedly for the needs of others.

Please help us to make this work for all of us.

God bless,

Jan Milton

Iraq - Post 3

September 6, 2014

Dear Friends,

ORH this evening received this new message from the church in Baghdad by Edgar Faghaly.

Please read the report and rejoice in the Lord.  As more information is made available, ORH will send it to you.

“Three hundred and fifty Iraqi families who lost their homes and everything they

own, were flown by the Iraqi government to Baghdad.! !

Our church in Baghdad prepared a box filled with major staples. In addition to the box we purchased a blanket and a pillow plus other things they need. We announced that in order to receive the aid they need to pick it up from our church during the service. ! !

Last Sunday the church was filled with people who heard the gospel for the first time. Everyone received his package plus a Bible or a New Testament in Arabic. Among the refugees who came were 12 Moslems. Many of them commented that we are the only church in all of Baghdad that thought of their tragedy and prepared aid for them. They expressed gratitude to all who helped make these aid packages a reality. Many of them raised their hands for salvation at the end of the sermon. !”

Operation Renewed Hope will be sending more funds to help this great effort by the Baghdad church.  This is a great opportunity to give the gospel where it cannot be heard.

Continue to pray for these displaced people who need Jesus.  Pray for those who are fleeing because they believe in Jesus.

God bless,

Jan Milton

Iraq - Post 2

Dear Friends,

Iraq Update

Thank you for the donations to help the Christians fleeing ISIS.  This is a terrible situation.

Edgar Feghaly wrote the following update about the money that was sent to the Pastor Maher's Baptist Church in Baghdad.  Pastor Maher has a good ministry in Baghdad, even a radio station.  ORH sent the first money to make sure that it could reach the people in need.  Brother Feghaly has assured us now that it has reached the church and preparations are being made to distribute this money.

Brother Feghaly also gave us word that many have come to Baghdad from the conflict area, and the church is helping these families now.  Please read the the following update.

"Brother Maher already has possession of the money, and we are already putting together our plans to activate the aid to the people.

Also, we are working on a plan to put a NT or a Bible in the hands of every person that receives aid.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity. As the aid is being distributed in Baghdad, Iraq, and Kurdistan, we will be sending you photos and news through our email updates.

May our Master and Lord reward you for your faithfulness and generosity."

These are dangerous days and hard days for the world and Christians in particular.  It is the greatest day on earth to reach the world through the compassion of Christ.  We must not fail to go to the harvest.

Pray for these people.  To believe around the world, now requires a willingness to die.

Operation Renewed Hope is thankful for those who have given.

Uganda October 2014

ORH needs 3 more non-medical people to go to Uganda.  If you can go, the dates are October 25 through Nov. 3, 2014.  The number of patients will be great.  We need at least 3 more to help us.

One of our doctors had to withdraw from the trip.  We need to replace that care giver.  A PA, Nurse Practitioner, or a doctor would be of great help.

We want to make sure we are able to help all the people who will come to the clinics.

Cambodia January 2015

ORH is now forming the Cambodia Trip for 2015.  Please consider traveling with ORH to help Dr. Tom Johnson.  As we form this team, we are praying very strongly for the new church that hopefully will form.

Dr. Johnson has received a land donation.  The ORH team will travel to this donated land.  We will do the clinic on this land to draw people to hear the gospel and receiving loving, compassionate health care. 

Prayerfully, many will trust Christ, and become a strong new group for the new church.

God bless,

Jan Milton
