Dear Friends,
It is always great to work with good
people. Michael and Jennifer Fiocchi of
Baptist World Missions are two of the best.
Mike and his wife work in Albania and just spear-headed a major medical
clinic into Kosovo with ORH.
Mike lead ORH to conduct a clinic in Laknas,
Albania, where he founded a church. He
wrote me the following about a need in the church where the clinic was
conducted.
“Hey Brother Jan thank you for coming to the Balkan states again. Yesterday we had a challenging time in our
service. Our church needs a miracle. Flora's double hip replacement
might be what God will use to strengthen the faith of our young Laknas’ people.
It is to be a testimony for years to come and as long as there are people the
first of many to come!”
“Jan I hope that you are doing well. At church, we saw you tonight in
the tv video. I challenged our young people to learn English and to have Jesus
in their heart. We started our first
Wednesday night offering totally for Flora's operation. We will do this until
she actually has it. Tonight's total was a little less than $15. I hope this encourages
you. God bless!”
The follow-up to the Laknas’ clinic produced
the following communication from Mike.
This communication is about 1 year old but nice to remember.
“Hey, had a great visit
today with an old man that came to the clinic. We went through the plan of
salvation. He started reading the verses with me. That's unbelievable. He had 3
years of school under communism.
Anyway, the doctor that saw
him told him to be careful because he is headed for a stroke. Sure enough, he
had a stroke. Now, he walks with a cane.
After we went through the
verses, he really seemed to understand. Then I asked him if he went to the
preaching after seeing the doctor. He did, and he said that is where he prayed
to receive Jesus! Unbelievable visit.”
Why the reminder? God works in the hearts of people through
good works. ORH touches their hearts
with good works; and then, we reach their souls with the Gospel of Christ. Flora’s hip surgery is a good work and will
cost $10,000.00. ORH does not have that
amount to send, but desires to help this good lady who has received Christ and
has been faithful to the church there in Laknas. If you can help her, ORH will send the money
you give for this great need to the church for her. Please pray for the church, Mike, and Flora.
