Dear Friends,

HURRICANE DORIAN

PRAY VERY STRONGLY!!!

Please pray for Stephen Phelps who was scheduled to lead a building team into Freeport, Bahamas.  Sunday, Oct 27, he suffered a stroke while at church.  Pray God will restore this good man to His service.



We are now praying for a new building team.  Today, ORH began talks with a Michigan group that may be able to go.  ORH has purchased over $4000.00 of building materials and equipment for the work in Tabernacle Baptist Church, Freeport.  The materials have been shipped and are on-site.



REFUGEES IN NASSAU



ORH is financing the work of Dirk Irick and his wife who will help the Bahamians stranded in Nassau from the Dorian impact islands.  Please read Dirk’s letter.



     “Dear Jan Milton,  Hello, we are the Dirk Irick family.  We are missionaries to Nassau Bahamas and are currently on deputation raising support.  Our family had the opportunity to assist Victory Baptist Church in Nassau for VBS during the month of July and seen twenty-nine souls saved.

     Since hurricane Dorian our family has been eager to help the Bahamians.  The Lord closed many doors for us to go to Freeport.  We are so excited that the Lord has directed us to our “Island” of Nassau to encourage the refugees.  There are currently 1,600 refugees in shelters and the number is growing daily.  One particular area named Fox Hill has a community center with about 150 refugees.  Fox Hill is where our family stayed on our first visit to The Bahamas in 2015 and that is where the Lord burden our hearts to reach the youth.  We are very familiar with the area and have many friends there. 

     …We want to take the good news of Jesus Christ to these hurting people October 11th-19th.  Sincerely,  Dirk Irick,  Reaching the Youth of the Bahama”



As a result of their desire and specifics, ORH agreed to finance them up to $2000.00 for their efforts among the refugees on Nassau.

HURRICANE DORIAN AND UGANDA

Dear Friends,

HURRICANE DORIAN

PRAISE THE LORD!!!

THANK GOD, WE HAVE WORKMAN FLYING TO FREEPORT TO HELP REBUILD.  TIM PLEDGER WAS ABLE TO CONTACT STEPHEN PHELPS WHO HAS AGREED TO LEAD A TEAM OF WORKMEN.



Stephen wrote the following:



“We want to go back to the Bahamas on November 4, Monday until November 9, 2019 Saturday. I will be bringing 5 men in total.”



ORH was able to purchase over $4000.00 of building supplies through your giving which will be used by the building crew.  Mike Coupe will fly them to Freeport in his Piper Aztec.  ORH is thankful for all the pilots who have flown missions in Dorian.



Uganda

VMA Clinic

ORH is enjoying the work that is being accomplished by the VMA clinics.  This is a report by Keith Stensaas about one of those clinics.  Please read the results.



“I’ll send the official form but wanted you to know how things went. It was a great first clinic, and I am looking forward to the next one. Here are the stats:

2 doctors / 1 nurse for pharmacy , 91 patients treated, 25 wellness packs given out, 31 salvation decisions.  On Sunday we had several in church from visiting the clinic. Saw 7 more saved and 7 baptized.  Good clinic all around.  Church was really uplifted!!Btw, just so you know, I still have not received the VMA funds. 😀  Keith”



Pastor Zebedee

We were able to do a clinic in Kasese, Uganda, with Keith Stensaas’ brother, Matt.  One of the pastors that helped with that clinic was Pastor Zebedee.  He brought many of his church members for help.  He wrote the following.



“…we lost our church member aged 67 years, and he died due to high blood pressure and diabetes, but praise the Lord he got saved during the clinic that you offered to us when you were at Kasese, And the family appreciated so much because of the medicine he received because it's what had helped him for all this time. He received both physical and spiritual medicine, he is now in heaven.”



To God be the Glory!
