Dear
Friends,
The impact
of Hurricane Matthew is still being assessed as the water recedes. It is absolutely difficult to get into the
impact areas because the water has not receded and there is still major water
problems.
North Carolina
Anchor
Baptist Mission in Mt. Pisgah Forest, NC has taken two trucks of supplies for
distribution. Anchor is one of the
finest groups that ORH has the privilege of knowing.
Please read
the report from Michael Blanton who is actively engaged through Anchor Baptist
Mission in moving supplies to the needy areas of NC.
“Bro. Milton, It was good to talk with you
yesterday. Per our conversation we have sent two loads to the Lumberton NC
area, 1st load was Gospel Tabernacle Church at Maxton NC. Pastor Chris
Locklear. The 2nd load was staged at the
Baptist Center in Red Springs, Pastor Wendell Hunt overseeing the operations
(it was much easier to get to, even
thought we did have to drive over a flooded road). They have a drive thru and
trucks going out to the neighborhoods, and shelters. While I was there on
Tuesday rescue workers came in with families that was still wet from being
pulled off their homes. As you know we lost two truck in an accident, so we are
having to rent tractors for our trailer. With our people giving to W Va. &
La. things are tight and we are trusting GOD for our every need, if you could
help with the transportation it would be a real blessing. The cost is about
$500.00 per. load, 100% of all funds goes to where it is intended. I’m starting
on load #3 now. Michael Blanton, ABMI”
Operation
Renewed Hope is committed to this third shipment by Anchor Baptist
Mission. ORH will send $600.00 to Anchor
Baptist to help them move this 3rd load into the “Matthew” areas of
NC. Thank God for Anchor Baptist
Missions.
Once again,
ORH will join with Nehemiah’s Network and DirectLine Ministry. Pastor Jenkins wrote the following:
“We will be sending a load to Red Springs,
NC. I will pay Paul to take load; and
then when you send $600.00, we will reimburse church.”
ORH will
send $600.00 to help them with travel costs to complete a mission to the impact
area of “Matthew” in North Carolina.
Pastor Allen Jenkins and Paul Deem are working together to move a load
on next Tuesday to the Red Springs, NC, distribution point. Please pray for their safety.
Haiti
There is no end to the desperate situation
in Haiti. The people are frightened
beyond measure. Please read what ORH
received this from Sarah Bennett, Mission for Haiti.
“This very morning at 3:00 am, the streets
in Jacmel were full of residents who were looking for transportation to go to
higher elevations for safety from a tsunami. Some will even walk most of the
day to reach the mountains. A rumor started that a tsunami is coming and people
are panicking!! There is nothing official concerning this. It’s just a rumor
spread on social media and WhatsApp, and it’s causing so much panic.
Concerning the western part of the
island—cholera has started and many have died already. The hunger and
homelessness are so pathetic. Mission for Haiti and Operation Renewed Hope have
joined together and are already helping. We will continue, depending upon funds
we are given for this tragedy
Please pray and please give. Thank you so
much!!”
ORH is still in need of aircraft for
Haiti. Two twin engine planes are committed
for about 10 days from now. A pilot and
aircraft are needed before that time. Please
join the Air Hope coalition to help fly over the destruction with needed
supplies.
Continue to pray for West Virginia and
Louisiana.
