Dear Friends,
Please read the information
about South Carolina flooding from Hurricane Joaquin. The situation is not good for the people.
There are three of our groups
working together, Operation Renewed, Hope, Anchor Baptist Missions, and Hearts
with Hands.
Dr. Randy Barton, founder of
Anchor Baptist Missions (missions@anchorbaptist.org)
is in Columbia now with a team of people from his ministry. Please read what he has sent to us yesterday.
“We are focusing on supplies out of Gant
Street. My people are there, and the need has already overwhelmed the supply,
and we were not even scheduled to open until tomorrow afternoon.
If we can refer the Restoration efforts for ORH
to coordinate, it would help us greatly. We have all we can do and more with
the Response aspect of this. Any help with supplies you can steer our way would
be appreciated.”
Dr. Greg Lintz, director of Hearts
with Hands out of Ashville, NC, www.heartswithhands.org,
has a semi-truck headed into Columbia now with relief goods. He will be coordinating with Dr. Barton’s
team and help distribute the needed supplies.
We want to thank Dr. Bill
Egerdahl, pastor of Grace Baptist Church in West Columbia, for supplying
pastoral staff to coordinate the work of ORH in the flood zone. Dr. David Smith of the church pastoral staff will help ORH reach
the people with help and the gospel. Dr.
Smith is in the flood zone now attempting to determine the local families’
needs for their homes and properties.
Pray for his safety.
There is much to do. This is an opportunity for all of us to give
the gospel thousands in the US. Please
help us to do this. If you have
supplies, a work team, or know someone in need, please contact ORH immediately.
We have included a PDF of the
Congaree Baptist Church which had 3 to 5 feet of water in its facilities. This church was preparing its 250th
year of existence. They were chartered
before the Revolutionary War.
