UNASHAMED, STILL WORKING

UNASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL - FIRST BAPTIST NORTH PORT, FLORIDA

ORH is thankful that your giving blesses distressed churches boldly unashamed of the gospel.

In Early February, Chris McAviney, ORH Director of Disaster Relief, traveled to Florida to view the progress of churches engaged in ORH relief work. Chris's efforts led him to First Baptist Church in North Port where he met with Pastor Jared Gritton. 

First Baptist had extensive water and wind damage, and insurance covered a small portion of the cost.

In an interview, Pastor Gritton said, "We are very thankful for Operation Renewed Hope and the help they were in the initial days of Hurricane Ian. Rebuilding is going well, but due to the large area affected and the supply chain issues, work has progressed slowly."

At the time of Chris' visit, the auditorium had been stripped of carpet, but new carpet installation would be soon. The parsonage, home of the Assistant Pastor, was scheduled to be re-roofed. The bottom portion of most drywall had been replaced, and new office furniture was being assembled.

Please, pray for First Baptist Church's community ministry. Pastor Gritton said that they had reached out to several neighbors spiritually. Before Ian, the neighbors would have stayed away; but after Ian, they were responsive."

ORH provided $10,000 for new carpet and office furniture.  Thank you for making the donation possible through your support of ORH.

UNFINISHED, STILL WORKING

FLOOD DAMAGE BEFORE RESTORATION

AFTER RESTORATION!

MUCH IMPROVEMENT, MUCH TO DO

ORH is a "working organization." This means that not only is ORH an existing organization, but ORH often has physical and spiritual work occurring night and day as do other good organizations.

Therefore, it is a joy to work with people like Kevin McCoy who share ORH's commitment to working. Please read his report from the Kentucky flooding.

"Our family went back to Buckhorn Kentucky to do a follow up with Pastor Simmie Ray Bowling of Rock Bottom Baptist Church / Camp Rufus and help him for a few days if we could . After arriving and asking a few questions there was a need that we could help with and right away. The barn church at Camp Rufus had suffered severe damage in the flood. Most of the walls and supporting posts had washed away and the building was in jeopardy of collapse .

The Pastor and I made a quick assessment and material list . We rounded up everything needed to make repairs and got to work . We were able to jack the sagging building back up two feet in some areas and install new post supports and anchor brackets and add some temporary bracing . We were also able to get most of the building plumb from it leaning over six inches. 

This building is vital to the operation of the camps several times a year and storage of supplies and equipment year around. As the Pastor said many times "What a blessing ". As the bible says it is better to give than receive and we count it our privilege to serve in these capacities."

Thank God for people like Kevin and his family. Please, pray for the church and the pastor in Kentucky.
