CHRISTMAS IN BLACK RIVER, JAMAICA

Pastor Godfrey Watson's church distribution of relief goods ORH sent to them through a donation by Hearts with Hands.

The town of Back River on the southwestern side of Jamaica took the first blows of Hurricane Melissa's staggering winds of up to 185 miles per hour. Pastor Godfrey Watson is pastor of Providence Baptist Church in Black River. Both his church and home were severely damaged by the high winds and rain.

The following videos are of Pastor Godfrey's home and church.

Pastor Godfrey provided the following informative account of their situation and needs.

"My brother Pastor and Partner in Ministry. Greetings from Jamaica. We have been badly impacted by the hurricane in recent times. I lost the roof of my main house and other buildings totally destroyed on the property.

The church roof at Providence Baptist Church is gone and the Spicegrove Baptist Church a few sheets of zinc went missing. All the houses in both church communities have lost their roof. Only those few that had concrete roofs remain."

"Sure enough my dear brother. I can’t thank you enough for your support and your continued prayers. Please convey to the sponsors my sincere gratitude for this and other contributions. God bless you."

He further wrote.



"There’s no electricity or internet connection. Life will never be the same again. Only those whose faith is grounded in Christ will be able to make it through. Please continue to pray for us. The rebuilding process has to begin soon as to save anything from the rubble."

"My dear brother and ministry Partner. Let me use this opportunity to say thanks to you and the team and all donors and contributors for the food donation and supplies. Your quick response to our plight after hurricane Melissa has truly helped our people. People were able to eat and drink water. Words are inadequate to express our gratitude for the kindness of everyone."

ORH is thankful to be able to purchase approximately 250 sheets of roofing zinc to dry in roofs. Seventy of these sheets were sent to Pastor Godfrey's church. ORH thanks all who have given for these desperate situations.

Pray that more can be done because so much needs to be done.

CHRISTMAS IN SRI LANKA

Landslide from storms in Sri Lanka

Cyclone Ditwah struck Sri Lanka, and ORH Director Daniel Jones immediately contacted missionary, Stephen Sorrell. Stephen and his wife, Jill, agreed to work with ORH to help the people of their ministry. This following is a report from Brother Sorrell.

"Thanks to everyone who has been praying for those suffering here in Sri Lanka. The official death toll has risen significantly, though it is difficult to get an accurate number. One news site has stated 340 dead with many more than that missing. The mountains seem to have just collapsed onto so many homes and villages. Much of the island is without electricity, but the larger problem is water and food. Many larger cities and smaller towns and villages have no water and food is scarce. Many acres of vegetables have been ruined, so the price of vegetables has risen drastically. For example, one kilo (about 2 pounds) of carrots have gone from about $3 to around $12.

The cost of the food is certainly prohibitive, but the larger problem is the transport. Almost all major roads are closed for travel due to washed out or missing sections of the road and collapsed bridges. Even if food was readily available, getting it to the needy areas is not possible right now."

Stephen also wrote about a family who gives Jill language lessons and is close to them.

.... Now, survivors are digging out the bodies of their friends and loved ones. Her (language teacher) parents are alive, but there are many that did not make it. She showed Jill photos of her friends and whole families that are buried in the mud. She broke down as a photo of her grammar-school teacher came up on her phone. She has not been found. The survivors have enough food for 6 or perhaps 7 days. Their village is so small and so remote that it is unlikely that they will receive help. There is no drinking water."

".... Your contribution to help these families is very appreciated. You have fed the hungry, clothed those who had nothing but the clothes on their backs, and provided the children with essentials for them to return to school. Here in Sri Lanka, you are not allowed to attend school without the necessary supplies as outlined in the school's directives. These children have lost everything in this disaster and you have made a significant positive impact on their ability to return to school. Thank you all so much! May the Lord Bless you! Stephen and Jill Sorrell"

ORH sent $2000 immediately to empower Brother Sorrell for ministry. More support will be going to him as soon as possible. Please pray for this good missionary family as they labor for souls in Sri Lanka.
