Dear Friends,

ORH wishes to provide a plan to keep the churches stable in Haiti.  In order to keep the people from leaving the areas of the churches to find housing, we would like to begin our process with rebuilding structures for the families of the churches.  The church without families would be greatly hurt.  We also will look at the churches needing rebuilding also, but first we want to secure the families so they can get back to work and support their churches.

Please read the plan below.  We need 150 churches in the United States to replace at least 150 church families structures.  Please join with us now.

Reconstruction Aid Management of “Haiti Hope”

Earlier this month, members of Operation Renewed Hope and pastors of churches in the U.S. met in Indianapolis, IN, with Pastor Dieupie Cherubin, pastor of the Hosanna Baptist Church in Jacmel, Haiti. Pastor Cherubin serves as the leader of an association of pastors in southern Haiti.

In these meetings, Pastor Cherubin made an appeal in behalf of the believers who comprise the churches he represents.  After all, churches are not buildings; churches are made up of believers.  Pastor Cherubin asked that we find a way to help these believers clear the rubble (the current rubble used to be their homes and church buildings) and rebuild in a way that would be appropriate for Haiti – which we now know is in danger of both earthquakes and hurricanes.  Pastor Cherubin helped us to sketch a small structure for these believers, and we are presently working with engineers to design this in a way that would be appropriate for the disaster zone.  With this in mind, ORH is recommending this Reconstruction Aid Management Plan that will continue for the next several years.

The purpose of this project is not to build a full home, but to move families into a solid structure before hurricane season or as soon as possible.  The family may add to the home at their own cost later.  Also a structure of the size proposed could house two families till homes are finished which would move people more quickly from the tents.

All materials that can be purchased will be purchased in Haiti for the sake of re-establishing an economy for the people.  Labor will be sought among the Haitians before securing labor outside of Haiti to help re-establish an economy for the people.

Currently, only families with a deed to the land where their house stood before the earthquake will be considered for rebuilding.  A solution to the rental families, whose rental collapsed, is being sought at this time.

At this time, the first group to join with ORH in this project is Mission for Haiti of which Pastor Cherubin is a part, however, all organizations of like faith in Haiti needing help with their families are welcome to be a part of this re-build plan.
Church teams

1.         Churches may register to send a work team if they follow this rebuilding plan.

a.         Church must be willing to purchase a structure for a family. ($4000.00)

b.         Church also must be willing to send a $1000 to $1500 (TBA) administration fee.  The fee will cover the following costs. Read the rest of this entry »

Are you planning to have a glorious wife and a glorious life?

In Ephesians 5:25-30, we have just such a plan presented to us.  Just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself for it, so each husband can use the “washing of the Word” to present his bride in a glorious manner.

Sir, do you think in terms of how little you could do for your wife, or how much you could do for her? Don’t miss the illustration of the son of the tribal chief who knew how to seek a wife. The message concludes with practical “he-man choices” for you to make.
