Syrian Refugees – Lebanon Work
Dear Friends,
ORH wants to thank the churches and individuals who have given to
help the work of Pastor Maher in Iraq and Pastor Dahdah in Lebanon to work with
the Syrian Refugees. ORH is thankful that many have heard the gospel and
some have been saved. Thank God also for Brother Sam Stricklin, and
Brother Edgar Fehgaly who are true brothers of compassion for a hurting people
without the gospel.
Below is a message about the work with the Syrian Refugees in
Lebanon. Pastor Karim Dahdah is now in the process of helping these
people. This is not easy since he faces the possibility of his own status
becoming that of a refugee from ISIS.
Lebanon just arrested a “woman who is believed to be one of the
wives of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the group's reclusive leader.” (CBS News).
Please pray for these brave servants and those “scatter
abroad”. Pastor Dahdah is giving the gospel and relieving the horror and
suffering of displaced people.
Please read the email from Pastor Karim.
“Dear Bro. John, Thank you for your direct reply and full
understanding. I'll follow your instruction as you've asked, and if you
need some more information or photos, don't hesitate to ask. All money
will be used for Syrian refugee people. Something to know that not all
Syrian people live in camps. Some of them are renting small rooms. I'll
also sent you in the future some picture of their rooms.
Also now in winter, they are in great need of Diesel, for Heating. At least every family needs $100 /m, as you know Zahle and Bekaa- Valey is 900- 1000m high above sea Level. So your 2nd project to us could be for diesel knowing that I can help from 50 - 100 family. Please pray for that essential need as well. Feel free to call me or contact me any time. Pastor Karim”

Philippines Typhoon
Thank God that the typhoon was not as severe as the one a year
ago. At this time, we are assessing the damage, and what ORH should do,
if anything. The best we know at this time is that we should wait and not
commit resources. Continue to pray for these people. If we think it
wise to engage this disaster, ORH will send out another update.
God bless,
