It is hard to accept the thought of people facing the possibility of having to live in a natural disaster destruction zone. But many will do so over the coming weeks in Haiti.

Christian organizations will do everything possible to relieve such suffering. ORH has given much thought as to what could help most. First the gospel MUST be presented with all of our efforts to relieve suffering. We then must look at the greatest need over a long period of time.

ORH working with Pastor Pedro de Cuhna and his assistant pastor, Yadin Rodriguez, at Iglesia Bautista Christiana in Santo Domingo, DR. received information through sources in Haiti explaining the need for tents. ORH has decided to make this our emphasis.

We will be purchasing four person tents to send into Haiti through the Dominican Republic with the help of Iglesia Bautista Christiana. A.J. James will head up our operations with Air Hope our air ministry of ORH.

ORH is starting with 100 tents and 70 tarps. Our goal is to do much more.

Pray ORH can verify the truth as we encounter needs. Pray for A.J. as he flies that he will be safe and successfully deliver the tents and the gospel. Pray our funds continue to meet needs.

The appeals for help are very strong; pray that through all these efforts the gospel will have free course by the power of God. Pray the thousands of homeless will find shelter from the elements.

ORH received this communication from an isolated village in Haiti. A Christian lady wrote,

Pray our efforts can reach these people.

I want to introduce Pastor Paul and his wife, Elizabeth. orh has known Paul for many years. He has preached on many of ORH clinics and presently pastors Masaka Independent Baptist Church in Masaka, Uganda. He also oversees two other churches. He is constantly on the go preaching the gospel and supervising churches.

Paul has one hardship which makes him very unique. He cannot walk. He was born with legs which are without strength and feet which are non-functioning. If you look at the picture of him and Elizabeth, you will see that his pulpit is about a foot off of the floor. If he moves, he does so with the aid of flip-flops on his hands which he uses to propel himself along.

Paul's three wheel motorcycle takes him to many places making him very mobile. However, through natural wear and tear; it is very warn out. He needs a new vehicle so both he and Elizabeth can travel together. They are recently married. She is a great asset to Paul's ministry.

In October, our medical team will be going to Uganda, and Paul will be the preacher for our team. ORH wants to present him with a new vehicle modified to his needs when our team arrives. ORH is sending $3000.00 to missionary Keith Stensaas to buy and modify the "4 wheeler" pictured below.

Pray for Paul and Elizabeth. Most people in Paul's physical condition would not do what he is doing.
