Dear
Friends,
Below
is the plan that has been developed by Pastor Athem and his dedicated group of
Indian believers and the report of a young boy’s life that was saved.
We
thank God for the Indian Christians with whom we are privileged to work.
Not only have these people sacrificed themselves, but they have given financially
out of their need to finance the efforts. They have raised money to join
with the money sent by Vision 2020 Asia and Operation Renewed Hope.
Please
read their entire plan. It is very strong course of action and worthy of
investment of relief funds. It is true to the gospel, the church and
relief efforts which will truly help the people. The monsoon rains are
coming. We must get these people into better situations.

Please consider these efforts and recognize how frugal they are to help a church work with their village. In two villages with churches, they are seeking to build temporary bamboo structures that will provide shelter from the coming monsoons. They want to purchase enough materials to provide 133 structures.
As Pastor Athem and Dr. John Paul were returning
from the survey trip an unbelievable thing occurred. Dr. John Paul wrote
this email.
“….Our survey trip has been a blessing
through out.. On our way back, we stopped at a small tea stall for a cup of
tea, and as we sipped, we heard loud screams coming in from the adjacent
store.. We quickly went and looked to see what was happening, and a young boy
of about 15 years old had just collapsed.. Wasting no time a quick examination
revealed that had a pulse and a very high grade fever.. With his eyes rolled
upwards, I could tell he was going into febrile seizures, and probably it would
have become non stop.. We didn't have any injectable meds or pills, God gave me
the presence of Mind to use ice cold water to cool him down with soaked towels
as tepid sponging.. He returned back to sensorium after about 2 minutes
and and told us his name and thanked.. We were there at the right time
and at the right moment to help in whatever way we could.. He was later taken
to a clinic which was farther away in a nearby town.. Such is the need for
medical aid here and beyond comprehension.. I am heading back to
Bangalore tomorrow, shall meet my doctor friends and plan for the trip back
into Nepal, most likely in the coming week.. Will be sending you the budget
that may be required for the logistics and supplies.. Please be in much prayer
and may our God be glorified in everything we do...Love in Christ, JP”
ORH thanks Morningside Baptist Church in Greenville,
SC for their gracious gift to the efforts. Also, we thank First Baptist
Church of New Lisbon, WI, for their gracious help. ORH thanks several who
have heard of ORH’s ministry to Nepal through radio on FBN and has called to
let us know an offering is coming. We will continue to thank people as
information comes to us.
God
bless,
