NEW ENGLAND FLOODING

Flood Damage in Highland Falls, NY

Our churches are a lifeline to those in need, especially with our dedication to the Gospel. In Highland Falls, NY, Grace Baptist was this lifeline. Chris McAviney, ORH Director of Relief, gave a report about this lifeline church and its Pastor.

"In a little under 36 hours Grace Baptist Church was able to distribute 13,000 pounds of food and supplies to flood victims. Every box full of food was sent out with information on the church and a gospel tract.

The local police department came to the church through the evening to load boxes and deliver food to those in hard-to-reach homes.

Pastor Snavely reports that he spent a total of 86 hours working during the week following the flood in relief efforts."

Chris traveled to Pastor Snavely's church. While there, he visited several church members and local residents while surveying the damage and obtaining information for further help.

ORH is grateful to participate with Nehemiah's Network in the supply and delivery of the food.

Director of ORH, Daniel Jones, DMSc, PA-C, wrote reported great blessings from 2023 Kosovo Medical Team. The team was composed of medical providers, dentists, nurses, eye-glass distributors, and non-medical staff.

"An ORH medical team traveled to Kosovo in May of 2023 to work with Pastor Jeton Sokoli and Missionary Michael Fiocchi. The team comprised 44 United States volunteers and 25 volunteers from Albania and Kosovo. 

The medical team experienced the Lord’s work and favor. in Kline and Gjkova, thirteen hundred patients received treatment. Many seeds of the gospel were planted, and two people accepted Christ. 

Pastor Jeton was very encouraged and is following up on the clinic contacts.  He has reported increased church attendance in Gjkova following the clinic. Pastor Jeton hopes to plant a new church in Kline."

Please pray for the Bolivia Medical team leaving on July 22.

Working with a professional is a great blessing for patient and young nurse.

Boot camp is required for participation in ORH medical teams by teens from fourteen to seventeen years of age.

Over the years, ORH has used the camps to assure that teens can work to the point of exhaustion yet be ready to work more.

Teens are trained and encouraged to embrace "I live, yet not I; but Christ lives in me." With that confession on their lips, they receive their "Dog Tags" indicating their successful completion of boot camp.

The 2023 camp conducted by Chris McAviney was no different as Daniel Jones wrote.

"ORH's 2023 boot camp in Robbins, NC, June 5th, was attended by ten teens, and all completed the objectives.  ORH is thankful for the volunteer instructors and church sponsors who made it possible for the teens to be successful. 

The young people received the training necessary to contribute to an ORH clinic. Several of these boot camp graduates will travel as ORH team members to Bolivia in July and Uganda in October of 2023."
