David Livingstone Institute of Medical Missions


Friday, January 1, 2016




Dear Friends,



In the summer of 2016, ORH will introduce the first session of the David Livingstone Institute of Medical Missions.  DLIMM continues the efforts of Operation Renewed Hope to encourage and prepare young people to enter medical missions for their life calling.

ORH will conduct a pilot program from June 26 through July 2 of 2016.  The location of the summer program will be Raleigh, NC.

The first 5 young people, between 14 and 16 years of age, who register by May 1, 2016 for DLIMM, will be offered a reduced rate of $200.00 to attend the pilot program week.

Interested young people and parents are encouraged to go to www.dlimm.com and read about DLIMM in more detail.

The pilot program will last for one week, rather than the normal three weeks.  Through the pilot program, ORH will determine the best way to offer the educational and spiritual modules to effectively encourage and prepare the young people for medical missions.

Medicine can be the path to a life-time calling to God’s work.  Let ORH take you in the footsteps of Jesus into the fields “white unto harvest.”  Go with ORH and see the multitudes as He saw them.  Prepare with ORH to experience the compassion He experienced, propelling you into His harvest as His laborer.  This is your time for a great “Adventure in Faith.”

If you would like to know more about being the first to work in the David Livingstone Institute of Medical Missions, please, go to www.dlimm.com and choose the “Information” page.  Complete the contact form on that page, and submit it.  We are extremely eager to hear from you.

God bless,



Jan Milton

Blessings Flow in SC


Tuesday, January 12, 2016



Dear Friends,



Please read Pastor Driggers report about the work in Congaree Baptist Church.  Please also download the PDF to see the work that has been accomplished in this 250 year old church in South Carolina.  The flood there was bad, but God has been so good.



“Dear Jan,    It was good to hear from you and I hope that you had a great holiday. I was thrilled to hear the amount of help that you have for us, we continue to be humbled as we see God move on the hearts of individuals and churches with a willingness to help in the recovery here at Congaree.

   Just a quick update; most of the work that had been in progress ground to a halt during the holidays (it was good to have a little break) but things have begun to pick up. Our two offices are functional now (I still need a little furniture in my office for books and storage), and the church nursery in back up and running, it is also doubling as one of our Sunday School classes. New doors have been installed in the fellowship building and a painter friend has been down this week to finish the painting (most of it) in the fellowship building. (See the picture attached of these finished projects)

   Also this week we are tearing out the ceiling tiles in the kitchen, which will be replaced with sheetrock. The major project left in the fellowship building is the replacement of the flooring and the completion of the kitchen. We have an architect coming on Friday to take a look at the Sanctuary and make recommendations for the repairs on it. (This architect is from Charleston and has experience with historic building)….

   You also mentioned about finding some work teams to help; there is a group who have come by to help us a couple of times last month, I believe their name is "hearts with hands". The assistant director said that he thought he might could get some teams to come help once we got our "prophet's chamber" functional. His name is Don Jennings and his number is (205) 329-3804 if you would like to contact him and work something out, just let me know.

   Once again we do thank you for all that you and Operation Renewed Hope has done for us and we look forward to working with you in the future. May the Lord richly bless your work. In Christ, Rev Tim Driggers”



Operation Renewed Hope just heard from Morningside Baptist Church in Greenville, SC.  They will provide a skilled work team to use the money that ORH has received from the good people who read these reports and help Pastor Driggers and his congregation.  This is certainly an answer to prayer.  There is still much to be done to help these fine people.






If you wish to give by check, please send the check to Operation Renewed Hope, P.O. Box 43242, Fayetteville, NC 28309.  Please designate the gift “Domestic Relief.”



Please, don’t forget our brother’s and sisters in Texas and Missouri.  Thank you to Florence Baptist Temple in Florence, SC for not forgetting.



God bless,

Dear Friends,



South Carolina Floods

Columbia, SC

ORH has received approximately $8000.00 at this time to help repair the Congaree Baptist Church, Pastor Tim Driggers.  Please pray that we will find skilled workers willing to work without pay so that the money can be used exclusively for materials.  This is very important to the church, and its services.  Morningside Baptist in Greenville, SC is now working on mounting another mission to the church.  They have just recently returned from a mission to the church in which Morningside supplied $2000.00 for building materials and labor. 



If your church can help, please call ORH at 910-987-5072 or write to jan@operationrenewedhope.org.



Pakistan Christians in Earthquake            

This morning Sam Stricklin expressed his thanks for the efforts of those who helped the good in Pakistan.  ORH by your good help has raised the funds necessary to help the Pakistani Christians impacted by the recent earthquake.



Shortly, we will be sending the monies which totaled $6040.00 to Brother Silas Ayub.  Pray for the brothers in Pakistan as they go to assist their brethren in the earthquake impact area.  Attached is a communication provided by Sam Stricklin from the believers helping the 33 Christian families in the mountains.  Please download and read this for a great blessing.



In our next update we will provide a short video which this group has made.  You will be blessed by them.



Texas and Missouri

Pastor Jenkins and his ministry Nehemiah’s Network have now put together donations for the work in Missouri.  They left yesterday with a truck-load of supplies from Cleveland.  In Columbus, OH the truck broke down and was towed back to Cleveland.  They need our prayers as they recover the truck and put it back on the road for Arnold Baptist Tabernacle in Arnold, MO.  The church is in need and also is willing to work with the community.  Below is a picture of the general flooding.



Central Missionary Clearinghouse sent ORH a church in Texas in need.  Please pray we will be able to help.  They wrote the following.



“Pastor Larry Maddox, President of CMC, is submitting a request for help for this church in Austin, Texas.



Pastor Mike Marcellus's church had been flooded twice this year.  They just finished rebuilding after the first flood and now they have been flooded again.  Contact information is attached to this email.



Trust that your organization will be able to help them.



Happy New Year,

Linda Bridges”



Thank God for all of you who have helped.  Thank God for all the needs that have been met with your help.  Pray that many will hear the gospel.

Texas and Missouri



Friday, January 1, 2016



Dear Friends,



In response to the appeal for information on Texas and Missouri, our good friend Stephen Russell, Central Baptist Church in Dothan AL, wrote the following.



“Jan,  I talked this morning with Pastor Ken Spilger.  His church is not yet flooded, though the water has covered their parking lot.  He is aware of several ministries that may be in dire straits in Union, MO near the Merrimac River…. 



Ken mentioned an unsaved neighbor (of the church) whose house is already flooded.  It would be a great testimony if any type of assistance was available to offer him.  And Ken is open to offering logistical help or serving as a staging point for work teams that would minister to others in his area.

Pastor Alan Jenkins of Columbia Road Baptist Church in New Olmstead, OH, once again joins with Operation Renewed Hope, to help with domestic relief work.  We are thankful for the opportunity to work with Pastor Jenkins and his church ministry, Nehemiah’s Network.



ORH has also heard from a church in Texas through a lady who travels with our medical teams.



Please pray  as ORH seeks to help and give the gospel through these openings.



If you have any other contact information for the Texas and Missouri events, please contact us immediately.
