MENDANAO PHILIPPINES' EARTHQUAKE DAMAGES CHURCHES

FILIPINO CHRISTIANS WORK TO REBUILD!

Phil Melton is a missionary with IBMGLOBAL This year the Meltons celebrate 38 years as missionaries to Japan (originally with EBM) since 1984. Although Phil has lived in Japan since 1965, it wasn’t until 1987 that he and Debbie left for the field for the first time as a family of four.

His years in country has connected him with many other missionries and nationals working to spread the gospel. Danny Tao:is one of the nationals with whom Brother Melton works. After a recent earthquake in Mindanao Brother Tao wrote the following.

“One of the church that we help cement bags are mobilizing now to start rebuilding there church thank you.

Thank you again for making it possible without your help it might take long waiting till they have a good place to worship

Now that tribal ministry is growing rapidly [thanks to] partners contributor of this great work even our dying churches are active now because we help them in church construction helping them to have a nice place to worship a permanent one.

We are so happy and excited for your coming hopefully we will enjoy traveling again and this time visit the churches that have some damage because of the earthquake thank you.

And maybe when you come you can take pictures too for the progress of the works.”

ORH by your giving was able to send $4800.00 to help God's people in this eartyhquake. We hope to send more to the mountain villages needs.

GHANA 2024 MEDICAL TEAM REPORT

HARD WORKING MEDICAL TEAM

In January 2024, ORH traveled to Wenchi, Ghana with a team of 37 volunteers from the US, Germany, India, and Ghana.    The clinic was conducted in two cites, Wenchi and Branham.   Team Ghana served 1360 patients with medical, dental, and optometry care.  

Two pastors from Union Baptist of Wenchi and Grace Baptist of Assoufiri helped with evangelism and will be doing follow up.  Bro Emmanuel, our Ghanaian pastor leader, told us that 95 people made decisions to receive the gift of Salvation. There is a vision for a new church in the Branham village.

Some of the members of the team—Dan Jones, Christy Holshouser, and Patricia Catrow—stayed extra days to speak with the hospital administration in Wenchi about the use of the ORH telemedicine computer capabilities and the Infuse teaching DVDs for continuing education. 

The feedback from the communities and the community leaders has been excellent.

Pray for our coming medical clinics in Albania, Bolivia, Uganda, and Guyana. ORH needs non-medical and medical workers for these trips.

DUNYA HAS A SURGERY DATE!

PRAY FOR DUNYA

Please pray for Dunya. Her surgery is either February 22 or 27. All are anxious for the surgery on her heart to be done.

Please pray for her family and the family of her translator. Both families have now moved into permanent housing through the Lutheran Society in Charleston. Dunya's father has full-time employment, and the translator has day to day employment so he can immediately go and translate for Dunya's family at the hospital.

When the surgery is complete, Dunya's father and her translator are going to start a lawncare business.

Pray for the translator and his wife as she delivers a baby girl in about 30 days. They have not chosen a name for the new girl.

We are thankful you made it possible for ORH to bring both families into the US from Afhganistan. Please continue to pray for Dunya.
