Dear Friends,
PERU
Pastor Giorgio Romani is continuing the efforts for ORH in
Peru. He is attempting to be as frugal
as possible. Thank you for your
donations to ORH for the Peru Relief flooding effort. Operation Renewed Hope has enjoyed our labors
with Pastor Giorgio and Brother Shapiama.
Please read the report below.
“Mr. Milton, Once again I want to thank you for your
encouragement, advice and support during our efforts to bring relief and the
gospel to those suffering in Peru. We
know that what we have done is very little, but it is magnified and worth it
all when we hear of the souls coming to know Him as Savior.
As a church and ministry we are
planning two more trips, one two
Lambayeque and another one to Piura.
These trips are not improvised, they have been part of our goals for the
past 3 weeks.
We decided to wait a little while
for these trips, because we wanted to focus on the ones we had at hand. We have
been trying to do our research and we have finally selected the ministries and
local pastors with whom we will be working.
Both areas are in northern Peru,
and we will have to fly there.
The first trip- Lambayeque- is
scheduled for the last week of April.
Our goal is to raise 4000.00 soles ( aprox.
1300.00 USD). We will be helping two
ministries/ pastors that have suffered the consequences of the floods. Both
pastors have expressed the need they have for mattresses, blankets, shoes,
clothing, and basic toiletries more than food.
One of the churches is in need of
chairs and a pulpit and we are planning to help with that as the Lord provides.
The second trip- Piura- is
schedule for the second week of May.
Piura is the region that has been most
affected in Peru. Our goal is to raise 10000.00 soles (aprox. 3200.00 USD).
Their situation is very similar to
those in Lambayeque and the needs they have expressed are alike. The main
difference is that their church buildings are inhabitable. This is why the cost
is higher. One of the church buildings has been completely destroyed and we are
planning to give them a significant portion of the amount raised in order to
help them with the initial process of rebuilding. The other church was flooded,
but it is a rental; the sad part is that most of the church belongings that
were placed on the roof top for safety were stolen.
Both pastors in these areas have
suffered material lost, but praise the Lord their homes are still standing and
they were able to save most of their belongings.
I hope this information helps. If
you need more information please let me know. God bless, Dr. Giorgio Romani,
Gal 2:20”

work in Lebanon with Pastor Karim Dahdah.
Please pray for him as he helps the Syrian refugees in the area around
Zahle, where he is pastor of Gospel Baptist Church.
The pictures are of him with
people who received fuel oil coupons for heating. We have purchased $1000.00 of fuel oil and
hope to distribute $1000.00 more.
