Missionary and Pastor Oral Anderson has worked with ORH since Hurricane Melissa struck Jamaica on October 28, 2025, causing great damage. He has truly been a blessing with his attention to detail concerning the use of funds, planning actions, and finishing plans.

Below is an example of the attention that he has given to the needs of his people, and how to best solve those needs in his work with ORH. Working with ORH is not easy because of required reports in writing, pictures and videos for verification, and receipts for purchased materials or payment or services.

His last report included his planning and pictures of one of the homes that he is agonizing over about the receipts. 

"1. Figure out the need.

2. Order and pay for the material at the hardware store.

3. Give the receipt to the recipient so they can arrange transportation.

This minimized me paying for the transportation, thus freeing more cash to purchase more material. It also makes them have some “skin in the game”.

The disadvantage is that sometimes I do not get the receipts (whether in time or at all). Most people here do not retain receipts…so they might end up losing our receipts.

The other down side is that I am not always/usually available when they are picking up their material from the store. Therefore, I usually do not capture that in photos.

If need me to, I could go by their houses and take photos of what they’ve done with the material."

He attempts to do things decently and in order. Please pray for Pastor Anderson; he needs more funds to help others restore their homes. Because there was not enough money, Pastor Anderson took the money out of his own funds to help families rebuild. ORH sent $10,000 to help him with the money that he has paid from his own funds. Pray for the people. The small dwellings are needed so that they do not have to live in the open.
