Hurricane Harvey

Wednesday, August 30, 2017

Dear Friends,

Please pray for Pastor Cover and his work with the floods in Houston.  He sent us this report.  Pastor Cover and Pastor Jenkins are preparing for the distribution of supplies.  Thank God for Nehemiah’s Netork.

“We are working with three different churches that have been flooded. I have been in contact with all of the pastors. Their biggest need at their churches will be finances to get them repaired. I have given all of them the ORH forms.  We have several folks who have been flooded out that we are going to be able to help as well. We are working to get the list compiled of people that need help. I have pastors helping me with this now.  I am in contact with several churches around town and have a place for the items arriving to go. I am waiting on the address and information for the loading dock but we now have a forklift, operator, and dock all promised to us. We need help organizing trucks, trailers, etc. to coordinate the delivery of supplies to those in need.”

One of the churches in need sent the pictures that are on the PDF.  Will has obtained a loading dock in Houston for our tractor trailer come to Houston so they can unload their food, blankets, and water supplies.

Thank God for Tim Potter’s church, Grace Ministries, in Mentor, OH, for their efforts to help people in the Houston Area.

Thank God for Julie Robinson with Walther Farms who called today.  They are seeking ways to help people in Houston by donating potatoes.  People like Julie are a true God-send.

Thank God for John Rice in Atlanta, GA.  He is helping us to obtain trucking for shipping at the best possible price.

Thank God for Doris Reynolds of First Baptist Church of Elyria, OH.  She called for her pastor about how her church could help ORH help the people in Houston.

Thank God for Pastor Dan Brabson, pastor, Bible Baptist Church, West Chester, PA.  He and his church are waiting to hear from us about future work in Houston.

Thank God for Pastor Travis Smith, Hillsdale Baptist Church, Tampa, FL.  This church and its pastor are always a blessing.  They have asked how they can help.

Thank God for Pastor Steve Rebert, Emmanuel Baptist Church, Winchester, VA.  This dear brother has sent an email saying his church is sending money to help.

Thank God for Pastor Todd Abbey, Fairfax Baptist Temple, Fairfax, VA.  He called and said his church would be taking an offering.
