Dear
Friends;
The
work in Irma is developing, and ORH is thankful to be a part of the work along
with so many others who are devoted believers in our independent churches
around the country.
Thank
God for the Karl and Cathy Steudl from Emmanuel Baptist Church, Winchester, VA,
Pastor Steve Rebert. They have been in Florida since the beginning of
Irma. They went to Island Community Baptist Church and began working with
Pastor Tony Hammon. ORH through Kevin Kelley, Acme Logistics, Greenville,
SC received a trailer of food. Cathy Sent us this report. She was
able to send pictures of student art work of the Word of God on the walls of
the school.
“As you can see, Island Christian School was home to Law Enforcement during
Hurricane Irma. And as you can see, these officers were surrounded by the Word
of God. Karl and I were able to give them gospel tracts that we carry and show
them the love of Christ in practical ways.
We thank the law enforcement officers who continue to serve during this
disaster. We also thank Island Christian school for opening their building to
shelter them in the midst of the storm.”
See
the PDF for more of their work.
ORH
and Nehemiah’s Network are now concentrating on supplying two churches with
supplies. Marathon Baptist Church, Pastor Nick Wielander and Pastor Jay
Shepperd of Tri-City Baptist Church in Port Charlotte. A 53 ft trailer is
headed to them with water and food for this week-end.
The
tractor and trailer is being provided by C.W. Burnett who is a member of East
Park Baptist Church in Decatur, IL. Pastor Ryan Banmam contacted ORH
about his churches participation and Brother Burnett.
Also,
Hillsdale Baptist of Tampa and First Baptist of Westwood Lake in Miami are
searching for refrigerators, washers, and dryers for the people in and around
the Marathon, FL, area. Pastor Wielander says there is a great
need. Pray for the churches to be successful in their search.
Pastor
Guy Altizer, Windows of Heaven Ministries, is also working with us. He
has contacted Pastor Don Strange and his church to see if ORH can join in their
ministry to the community. We have just received the first Pastor’s
Recommendation Forms back from him of families needing help.
Pray
for ORH, we have just joined with David Shumate of MGM, International in
Phoenix, AZ, to help the churches in Mexico City. A team leaves today to
assess the situation for work to be done. Pray for their safety.
ORH is providing $1000.00 for their efforts.
