ORH thanks Sam Stricklin who over the years has helped guide the work of ORH in Lebanon, Jordan, Pakistan, and Myanmar. Ron White first introduced ORH to David Sum in Myanmar, and Sam Stricklin has helped ORH maintain the relationship. ORH was able to send money through Sam to David Sum. The following is David's report.
"This is just to express my heartfelt gratitude to you for your great help to our needy people. This time we helped 92 rice bags and 184 liters of cooking oil to the IDPs. More war victims have been added to these village and they are now 92 families. Even though they fled from the civil war for the safety of their lives to this place because of Covid and the unrest political situation they are extremely poor and lacking of foodstuff.... Right now, even one meal is so precious for most people in our country. For these IDP the need is greater than any other. When we brought foodstuff to them and told them that the foodstuff are from God’s people from the States who love God and love you they were so grateful to you.
What we did was we first preached the gospel of Christ to them and then handed out gospel tract to them and then they took their share of the foodstuff. We are praying that this relief work will pave a way to our mission work. God willing, we plan to reach each family with the gospel and plant house churches for the glory of God….
Thank you so much again for your wonderful support to these needy people. I know tornado hit some cities in the States recently and you have lots of relief work to do for the Lord’s glory. I am very sad because we cannot help you anything but I assured you that we are earnestly praying for your great works and the States. Though you have lots of relief works to do in the States I hope you will never forget us and our needy people as we reach the unreached people through your helps. May the Lord Whom you love and serve continue to bless you and use you more for His own glory. Please know that I love you and pray for you, Yours in His precious Service, David"
In 2021, ORH was able to send 5000.00 through Sam Stricklin to Pastor Sum for the refugees and Indigenous Displaced People in Myanmar. This is because of your gracious giving.
