Dear Friends,
ORH is always privileged to hear from so many who send good
contacts during disaster times. One such contact is Pastor Athem Chothe
who directs the children’s home that ORH supports in Gangtok, Sikkim,
India. Sikkim borders Nepal, and Pastor Athem’s wife is from Nepal.
He wrote the following, and ORH is currently working to help him reach over
into Nepal.
“Dear Friends, As you know that the 7.5 magnitude
earthquake hit the Nepal and India today. By God's grace we are safe and no
casualties in our area although we did experienced a big time.
We have some friends in Nepal and some church planters
like Samuel and Iswar Shrestha who was in my office yesterday. He left for
Kathmandu yesterday and I am not still able to get hold of him. Please pray
that these friends and their church members will be in safe areas. Hopefully I
will be able to get hold of them by tonight or tomorrow. I am working on
it. In His Service, Athem & Indu Khiang Chothe”
On a phone conversation this morning with Pastor Athem, he
related that the brother referred to above did find casualties in their
church. At least one believer is dead.
Brother Lin Croxton, long-time friend of ORH, wrote the
following, and ORH is currently seeking to make contact with this brother.
“Dear Jan: I know you have one contact there in Nepal,
but there is another young man who graduated from Berean Baptist Bible College
there in Bangalore, India.
He is our contact person arranging for a conference for
us to be in Nepal in November. He is doing a good job and we have helped
raised funds for two different motorcycles for him and his ministry. His
name is Koshilning Thangsha…. He has contact with Pastors all over Nepal
and may be able to tell of needs there. Thanks. Until He comes,
Lin”
An aftershock has occurred which will be very frightening to
those who went through the original earthquake. People will be afraid to
go in any buildings because of possible internal structural damage from the
original earthquake.
ORH will continue to take information about possible
contacts. Please send the contact name, email, city, and cell
phone. Land lines do not work in this situation.

ORH thanks all who helped in the Yapp Island typhoon.
To date $3000.00 has been sent to our partners, Grace Dental and Medical, for
work with Paul Zimmer. ORH sends a thank you to Harvest Baptist Church in
Guam for their great effort. This is an amazing church.
Also, ORH will soon publish a report about the work in
Rochelle, IN which was hit by tornados.
These are opportunities to tell and demonstrate that God
loves a hostile, sin-marred world through his son’s sacrifice on Calvary.
God bless,
Jan Milton
