GOD BE GLORIFIED - DUNYA IS COMING TO THE UNITED STATES

This is little Dunya. Isn't she beautiful?

Dunya's situation has worsened since the effort began to bring her to the United States for life-saving heart surgery. Her need for oxygen is greater, and it is a race with a deadly timeline.

1. Dunya's family became refugees in Tajikistan from Afghanistan because of their profession of Christ, and an immediate threat and danger from religious leadership in Afghanistan.
2. Dunya required a second heart surgery because of a complex congenital heart disease. ORH became involved at this point.
3. ORH's lead doctor began seeking a surgery commitment in the United States because surgery in the region could result in the family being returned to Afghanistan after surgery.
4. The commitment was secured from a major medical school hospital, allowing for a request to enter the United States, legally, for the surgery. God answers prayer!
5. ORH contacted an immigration attorney and sought help from North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis. Both sources proved invaluable.
6. Because Dunya was in a life-or-death struggle, the USCIS expedited her case for approval making this a first since withdrawal from Afghanistan. How great are the works of the LORD!
7. Two churches stepped forward to take care of both Dunya's family and the translator's family for the two-year parole period. God always provides!
8. A Baptist International Evangelistic Ministry's missionary, who had previously ministered to Dunya's family, became available to help ORH. God is so good!
9. The accompanying translator was saved and most recently baptized. God is so great!

Prayer requests:

1. Immediate action by the U.S. Embassy to provide the travel documents for all members of the two families.
2. Timely processing of the fingerprints and background checks to get travel documents. Delay could be fatal for Dunya.
3. Cost of process to obtain travel documents.
4. Two automobiles, insurance, and jobs for the fathers of the families. (One job offer has been provided.)
5. Airfare expenses for 9 people.
6. Costs to send a doctor with an oxygen concentrator to meet and accompany Dunya for her safety.

Is it worth all of this to save this little girl's life?

YES, on every day of the week and twice on Sunday!

UKRAINE CHURCHES LOVING THEIR PEOPLE

UKRAINIAN FAMILIES NEED ASSISTANCE, AND THE UKRAINIAN CHURCH IS PROVIDING.

(PLEASE, WATCH THE VIDEO.)

This is the thank you letter from the churches.

"Greetings Christ! We are sincerely grateful for the $6000.00 that you provided for the medical needs of women who have sons, daughters, husbands, or fathers that are serving in the war. It has been a great blessing to distribute these gifts of love to many women. This has opened many hearts to the Gospel. Praise God some of those receiving these medicines are now attending church!

We have provided the mission BIEM with the receipts for the $6000 spent and pictures of the distribution. Thank you for your generous help. Sincerely in Christ. Pastor Eugene Buiko, Baptist House of Prayer, Bilogorodka, Ukraine"

This thank you letter is to all who entrust ORH with their gracious gifts. The sorrows and hardships facing God's people are real. To God's glory, you give in response to the Holy Spirit's leading. ORH is so thankful to be a conduit of your response.
