PHIL HUNT – ZAMBIA COVID 19 FOOD DISTRIBUTION

Phil sent ORH the following:

Good afternoon from Zambia.

Just wanted to thank you and share the update that the funds you sent were distributed equally between the following men. All of these men are connected to the ministry here either through the network of churches that have been planted in the past 25yrs or as church planting alumni of CABU. What an encouragement and blessing this has been to these men!

I am working on getting some feedback from a few of these men and will forward that on to you soon.

Please thank the donors for making this timely investment. Huge blessing!

TESTIMONIES

Dear Brethren,

I would like to express my sincere gratitude for financial help rendered to me. An amount of 1,730 Kwacha was transferred to my account.

Whereas the money will be helpful in taking care of one or two things, the gesture itself is priceless and a very apt reminder that even in the grind of things there are some brethren somewhere who think about and pray for me. Ministry with all its indescribable joys can paradoxically be a lonely place. Thank you once again for your ministry to me.

In Christ,

Oduor Obunga,

Pastor, Mansa Central Baptist Church.

OLEG AND LORI ENSKYY – COVID 19 MINISTRY

ORH is very thankful for all the good things that God does. We know that He is always guiding us to faithful people in the ministry. Oleg and Lori are exactly the faithful people to whom He led us. Lori sent the following to ORH.

Dear brother Jan,

Thank you so much for sending us $1000 for our COVID food outreach ministry. This money will be put to good use helping those out of work or who have had work hours decreased because of quarantine. The Lord has allowed us to enter homes and share the Gospel with those who would have never let us in before.

We are seeing an increase in visitor attendance at church and openness to hearing more about spiritual truths because of this ministry. Thank you so much for trusting us to be a part of ORH in Ukraine. We are attaching pictures from our Sunday baptismal service. Two of the three new believers were reached through ORH ministries - children's feeding ministry and ORH medical outreach.

Many of the people who attended the service were visitors from the feeding ministry. Praise the Lord for what He is doing in Ukraine!

We are praying for your many and varied ministries at Friendship and all over the world!

Sincerely,

Lori for all the Enskyys in Ukraine

God bless, from

Matt Stensaas – Uganda Medical Facility Given New Power

Matt Stensaas sent us this report about the needs during the Covid 19 event in Uganda. ORH was able to help the Government through Matt. Now the Hospital can help Covid 19 patients.

“The Kilembe Mines Hospital was the best hospital in this area. In the beginning of May we had floods that came down the Rwenzori Mountains and basically washed the hospital away. What still remained was buried under about 5 feet of sand and silt. They could not continue there at that site. They were given a place to relocate temporarily near Kasese town. Unfortunately the new place was not connected to 3-phase electricity. Three-phase electricity is needed to run the x-ray machine, the sterilizing machine for all medical clothing and many other machines. The hospital needed $6,000 to connect this electricity. You all committed to give us $4,000 to give to them. When we made that commitment known to them, they contacted the electricity company who in turn generously agreed to go ahead and begin the connection. Last Friday I got a message from the hospital administrator thanking me again for the money. They were finally connected and had taken their first x-ray. Because of this gift, people’s lives will be saved. Thank you so much. By His Grace, Matthew Stensaas, Kasese, Uganda

PASTOR THANG – COVID 19 NEEDS FOR MYANMAR

Pastor Neng Thang, Myanmar, was brought to ORH’s attention by a mission board. ORH is thankful to help this brother.

“After waiting for the lockdown for a few months, I , along with my son and son-in-law (medical Doctor, working for Peace Corp) could buy some medical equipments and transported them to Tonzang Hospital on Tuesday, July 28. We consulted the Head Doctor as to what equipments are urgently needed and would be more practical. He requested several items which we could buy with the money in hands….I am sending you these pictures.…

The 3rd picture is the Head Doctor, the last picture is the OPD counter….

All the 4 Doctors and over 10 nurses are very excited to receive all these items. They were very proud of the ORH.

There are many Covid-19 related needs…

With many thanks, Brother Thang, GBTCS, Yangon”

SAM STRICKLIN – COVID 19 FOOD MINISTRY IN BANGLADESH

Brother Stricklin has been a great blessing to ORH. His ministry efforts have always been exemplary. He left his church where he pastored many years to reach the Islamic nations for Christ and train pastors. We are thankful for his compassion for the souls and the physical needs of men. Through his eyes ORH has been able to see a whole new mission opportunity in many restricted countries with medicine and relief work. Once again, he has sent a great report.
