ORH is thankful to work with partners around the world who are doing such good work. In Ukraine, ORH has worked with Sam Slobodian and Baptist International Evangelistic Ministries. ORH joined in a project devised by Ukrainian Churches and BIEM to help with family members in the military.
Brother Slobodian wrote the following:
"Dear brother Jan,
Although spring is gradually coming to both the U.S. and Ukraine, the unexpected gifts of warm clothing remain a warm memory in the minds of both the soldier recipients and the family members we enabled to supply clothing. You asked for some photos. Although most recipients have no direct contact with BIEM (their families and friends are the ones who bought and transported clothing for their loved ones), we do have some photos we can share. Also, at the end of this message I’m including links to several BIEM videos about this project to supply warm clothes for Ukrainian soldiers in active service. Those videos also include snippets of live thanks and snapshots of soldiers and some from family members who went shopping for them, thanks to our gifts. We are still in the process of collecting pictures and notes of thanks. Therefore, we will have more to share with you later.
Thank you so much for the tremendous boost that you and Operation Renewed Hope gave to this project! And let me add that prayers for the souls of unsaved recipients of this clothing are still very appropriate. We hope the gifts they received, and the printed Word of God will draw them another step closer to trusting Christ for their eternal salvation."
The families in the churches registered soldiers who were family and non-family members. They were able to raise money to help 1000 soldiers. All the soldiers received the Gospel and a New Testament in their clothing boxes.
ORH provided $10,000 to the BIEM project made possible by your giving and following God's leading. Thank you for your support for our evangelistic medical clinics, disaster relief work, boot camps, Homes of Hope, Air Hope, Telemedicine, Infuse, and more.
