Blessings from Oklahoma





Ambassadors of the Lord Most High

Thanks be to Yhwh, that He blesses us with the privilege to be His ambassadors. We are His hands and feet and we are called to carry His light into the darkness.
This past weekend, ORR sent a team of eight to Oklahoma City to continue relief work for the communities hit by the tornados this past May. Although, five months have past, there is still much work to be completed. Some residents are still living in tents and temporary housing. Despite these realities, we observed much hope for the future when talking with people still needing assistance.
During our time there, we ministered to several members of the community that the Lord placed in our path. We installed smoke detectors and cabinets in temporary housing, put up fencing, did some cleaning and installed sub flooring in a local mission….More importantly, we were able to share the Love of Jesus with several victims of the tornados, some just needing a sympathetic ear or a tender hug. It was beautiful to see the way that the Lord has softened hearts and brought gratitude for the simplest of things, as well as His provision.
As always, The Lord in His infinite love & wisdom, blessed and grew each team member as we served others and were served by Hope Church--as they hosted our stay.

Please continue to lift those effected up in prayer before the Father.

with Love,
Jeri Foster
